Course Overview
Learn the basic concepts of programming using Python and JavaScript
This course is meant to introduce people who have no programming experience to the world of computer science. With the tech industry becoming one of the most trending fields in the job market, learning how to program can be one of the most important and meaningful skills. This course will teach the basic, foundation concepts of programming in an easy-to-follow manner.
The first part of the course will get students acquainted with some basic concepts used in programming and will lay the conceptual groundwork that the rest of the course will build upon. After learning the basic terms and concepts of computer programming, the next two sections of the course allow students to practice these concepts hand-on.
Students will follow along with basic examples in two programming languages: Python and JavaScript. Both languages are easy for beginners to learn and are very user friendly. This course won’t make you an expert programmer, but it will give you an exciting first look at programming and a foundation of basic concepts with which you can start your journey learning computer programming.
Update: The course now features hands-on coding exercises where you can put the programming skills you learned to use and get instant feedback on your code! The best way to learn programming is by doing!

As someone who is NOT a computer person, I found this course really palatable and easy to follow. A pro/ con to the course is that it doesn't get wrapped around the axles of "why" we're doing this which means you can just focus on getting reps up and learning the basics. The caveat to this is that it would be helpful to hear a quick "this would be useful in X situation." perhaps in Roberts other courses this is the case as they are more practical (as I'm soon to find out!)

My problem was that this course was way too short and vague made... I understood it because I have a little background on the matter but for a beginner this will leave him in blur ... but again, the big problem is with the fact that was to short, exercises only for Python not for JavaScript . If we do a Money / Value of Course it don t make sens to spend this money on it, should be like 6$ to be honest

First of all, for a beginner like me, it was a lot of information to digest at once. Secondly, the information was dry and could have been presented in a more engaging/fun way. Descriptions were awkward and quite difficult to follow, I had to repeat the video multiple times to understand and follow along. Despite these, I have gained quite a significant amount of knowledge on Phyton and Javascript as a result of this lecture.
