Question

Hi am new to this course can i have directions on where to start? thanks

Answer 1

Start with the lectures and when you have questions, ask here :)

Answer 2

watch the lectures, read the readings, do the problems, read xtra stuff online -

Answer 3

There is also the book: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/thinkCSpy.pdf. I found that if you are a beginner beginner reading a few chapters before you do the letter will go a long way to helping you understand and answer the assignments.

As I had commented elsewhere sometimes the assignments cover language concepts not yet covered in the video lectures.

Hope this helps.
