Intro to Python and Programming for non-CS majors (revisited)

Hacker News

Hi there, I am the author of this Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22669084 Back then, I released the materials for my Intro to Python course "to the world". GitHub repo: https://github.com/webartifex/intro-to-python I incorporated many of the constructive criticism and am currently recording a video lecture series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-2JV1G3J10kRUPgP7EwLhyeN5lOZW2kH I guess that a lot of people without a CS background would find these resources valuable and am open for further feedback. If you have any "non-tech" friends who want to learn to code, please feel free to direct them to my course. Stay healthy everybody!
