Finally completed Assignment 2 and got full marks, been using Python for some time now but the course is giving me more insight into programming in general.
Certainly clearing the fog.
I'll give Richie a prod to publish more material.

Those signed up to the Coursera Python course, how are you getting on ?
Any help needed??

Ice Rich · 31 Jan 2013 at 22:44

Still not got a Pi bit planning to soon,
Everything going ok with you guys, how is the course?

I understand Pi is now on Revision2b now?

Sign me up, how limitless is Python, can I create any idea in my head? I want to make a media player like foobar2000 but with an amazing GUI.

I've been working on this the last year, would learning Python help me? This is coded is PSS.

Phase III done finally! ...only took 9 months to do

Can I still take part in this? Been learning Python on and off for last 2 months or so. Made my way through some of codeacademy, codingbat and up to exercise 3x in learn python the hardway. Anything else that gives me some practice and a different viewpoint to work with would be welcome.

Aptana necessary? I have been using cmd and notepad++ so far.

Anyone can take part, but I think Rich must be swamped as he's not updated this in a long time.

Project Euler is good for solving problems with code.

FeFiDoh · 13 Feb 2013 at 21:22

To much maths involved in that Euler and I suck/hate maths even though I am currently studying it

I finished phase 3 at last, well I only really started it today but got around to doing it at least. Some of it I already knew but had never come across classes before and they seem a little baffling to me at the moment.

My aim is to try and do at least 1 hour of Python a day, I have been meaning to learn programming for ages now and intend on doing it with OU in October so all the practice I can get now should hopefully help with the logic behind it all when I start. I have plenty of time to do it, just need to stop being so lazy and knuckle down.

Has anyone heard from richie lately and know what is going on with the rest of it?

Richie's dad here, he is unlikely to carry on, Perhaps someone else will pick up the baton?
