These courses released for free by MIT OCW have been invaluable to me. Thanks again. The content is nothing short of gold.

I liked the older version of this class, its great it has been updated! It helped me a bit in my own intro to programming class, so definitely appreciated.

I'm retired from a long career as a programmer and programming teacher. Learned and used a lot of languages along the way, but never happened to do Python. Enjoying this series to see what I might have been missing and how Python differs from what I already know.

Nice to see Dr. Bell is back! I saw an earlier version of this course like 8 years ago and it was very good!

Thank you MIT OCW for doing these classes! I love how Dr. Bell explains things so that even an absolute newcomer like myself can understand it! I'm forever grateful! 🙏🏾

Naming your kid Ana with a last name of Bell ensures that kid having to clarify her name for the rest of her life.

From Africa thanks a lot. There's no way we might have such a qualitative (and it's free, may God bless you) content from our universities out here. This might make a big difference ❤

Quick skim through, definitely looks like a good refresher for an introductory course.

Finally they update this course. ❤❤❤

Computer science student from Africa taking this course is really helpful.

Awesome, was looking for something just like this for brushing up knowledge before I begin my masters

best course ever. took this few years ago to learn python

Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 05:05 - Data and Algorithms 10:53 - Memory Storage 15:15 - Language 21:40 - Data Types 31:00 - Expressions 40:38 - Variables 55:33 - Python Tutor 1:01:40 - Summary

High School freshman here interested in a cs career, and this course so far seems amazing, fast paced but very helpful. Thank you very much for this free course.

Thank you, MIT OCW, for democratizing education and empowering learners worldwide.

Congratulations to you and the institution, very informative and nice lectures

I watched half way now I will try to complete with the pace of MIT Schedules

I have watched the video and enjoyed it. Thanks. Greetings from Amsterdam.

Bravo 🌞 Lit 💡 Impressive 😍 gratitude for your satisfactory Work 💪🚀

Thank you for the course MIT

Watching this on 16th April 2024.

Thanks for sharing 😊

Wow very valuable content! Thanks for that! 🤩

This course is more valuable than my entire CS degree ❤

Thanks.nice to meet you.

Thank you Ana Bell

This is really an excellent channel on Python like "techie talkee"

Awesome! 🦾🥳

I remember watching the last version of the course understanding nothing, now i know what Prof, Ana talking about

Thanks MIT 😊

This course has some of that SICP "flavor" in it, that's cool

You are a good educator.

Thanks MIT!

"Wow, this introduction to computer science and programming using Python is simply fantastic! I love how the video covers everything from the basics to more advanced concepts in such a clear and engaging way. Whether you're new to coding or looking to sharpen your skills, this series is a must-watch. Can't wait to see what else is in store - let's code our way to success together!"❤

Loving this ..when I make it... Will come back t make a toast 🎉

very cool thanks a lot ❤

Thank you very much!

Wish we had teacher like her in our University

Dr. Bell is back

I'm here to freshen up some knowledge. =).

perfect :) thank you

This is wonderful

Keep doing good

This is very useful video mam

great teatcher

What a time to be alive

Thank you

Thanks

I watched the old course where there is also a professor talking about recursive function

Thanks 🙏

New mit video, don’t mind if I do!

nice....

She has a good heart.

Watching this on 25th April ❤

People in Africa who desire to acquire or develop their coding skills and enthusiasm for computers and electronics here is a one time shot I am one 👨🏾‍💻.

I m watching st 1.75 speed 😅 !!!!! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹👍🇪🇺

i am from asia thank you thank you

Done😊

Watching this on 24-04-2024 from Mumbai India

This is a great channel on Python programming. There is one channel "techie talkee" which explains all important features and concepts in Python - Data Science very clearly with excellent examples. It will be very useful to watch.

Funny that the Turing diagram is from an unknown source. "We can't legally give you permission to use this because we don't know where we stole it from".

Resume @33:33 :)

more precision

❤❤❤

I thoughth someone from MIT says that programming will become obsolete soon... Maybe I got something mixed up and that was told by different person not from MIT

Hello Anna Belle, I'm Pork Cupine. Nice to meet you!

❤❤❤❤

Hello. Thank you for uploading this amazing course, but I was wondering how is it different from 6.00.2x on EdX. I tried to enroll but I'm past the the deadline.

I have this weird problem with Spyder Ver 5.5.4. If I run the "Compute approximate value for pi", it works when I just click on Run and then type the variable names they return the proper values. But if I click on Debug and Run button, it fails and complains that pi is not defined.

i assumed that an MIT lecture would be harder than this.

I dream is to study CS ❤️

I have read her book

I love python

👍👍👍

CS STUDENT from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

37:25 If division is always a float, then what about 10/5, which is 2, so isn't that a int? Ok that guy asked my same question just different values, but I still don't understand how sometimes a whole number is a int and sometimes a float. Wouldn't it be more efficient to have that rule apply across the board? But anyway, it is cool when that happens, I was picturing myself raising my hand to ask that and then he asked it, as Julius Sumner Miller said, the curiosity of the Holy Spirit.

you should probably define pi equal to some library constant since 355/113 is going to accumulate errors pretty quickly

In Germany computer science is named INFORMATIK. I think the german term is misleading. As it translate to information science. To me information science should be about the also for computers but also many other fields basic principle of IPO (Input, processing, output). Whereas computer science should be about the tools to process information with computers. I.e. data structures, algorithm and computers plus peripherals. Also I don't recommend to use PYTHON to teach computer science. I would recommend C and Assembly language to understand the very core of data processing. JMHO. Also it might be known that currently Python ranks as the most unefficient programming language based on a recent study. And as everybody should be aware also in regards to greener tech... EVERY SINGLE BIT COUNTS. AND EVERY WASTED CPU-CYCLE adds to the pollution.

Can I learn from here,if I don't have any knowledge in computer science?

6:57

Why was there a need to take average @ 7:53?

i love how women explain computer programming they do It better then the men, ITS like fishing without a rod or running with your legs tide, their masculinity and ego aré always in your face and reminding you of they status... No hard hard feelings, no disrespect But with all point intended. Ive read 920 Pages of computer programming content, I learned functions, Arrays, arguments, loops/for loops/while do loops/End loops, statements/if statements/End statements, Encapsulation, enumeration, Parameters, variables, doc manipulation, nodes, values, intergers values, decimals, intergers, binary numbers, boolean algebra/#'s, switch statements. And keep in mind im still learning all these things

Mit if i binge all your videos accept me

People are always praising MIT so we must see some of the lecture live to really confirm that they are brilliant

PLEASE UPLOAD MORE SO THE FIELD IS OVERSATURATED TO OBLIVION

Hi, just started following this as I wish to learn the basics about CS and coding. At 22:30 she runs a program, can anyone tell me if that's free and where can I download it? I couldn't find info about it at the course information page.

Somebody please provide the full playlist link

Anyone know if this is a good like beginner course for python or more of a here are some math concepts or python concepts you should know because you are at MIT and the average person shouldn't use this course as an introduction to python for dummies type of thing?

I'm from India

1:21 "Class will not be recorded", hmmm........ 🤔

That's amazing!

Today is 18th April 2024

why they released the Fall 2022 in this year of 2024?

Start learning on 23th of April ,2024

Total how many lectures for this course?

Watch this on: Saturday, April 20th, 2024!😃👍

PPTs are not there in the description

Wow. Learned this in grade 10 and 11. For free????
