Nice find! It seems to be connected to Rice University, which is a very nice school just a little ways away from me

I am assuming it would be fine

If you can do game development, you will likely be fine with anything they throw at you!

Just wanted to mention that for everyone interested in this but who hasn't checked out the link yet, it appears that this actually runs like a college course, so it has specific start and end times. The next course is listed as starting on October 15th. It would just be sad if someone wanted to do this and missed it by a day or two and had to wait months for the next run. If anyone here wants to learn Python, this is probably your best bet short of enrolling at a local college.

Has anyone taken a course from these people before? Are you flexible as to when you can watch the lecture? Or do you have to be available at a certain time each day to see it?

I have taken online courses before, just not from this site and according to their descriptions there are video lectures that you watch at your convenience and there is usually a weekly assignment that is due by a certain date. You watch the videos when you want as long as you complete the weekly assignment by the deadline, you shouldn't have a problem.
