I'm taking the final exam for this course tomorrow, it has been a challenging but fun and very educational experience. The course starts again on August 27th. Learning how to think like a computer scientist and to use computational thinking is a big theme in the course (like making problems smaller by using more efficient algorithms). Anyways, I highly recommend the class (like all EDx courses it's free to audit and/or go after an Honor Code certificate):

Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

Professors who designed the course:

Eric Grimson
W. Eric L. Grimson is the Chancellor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a professor of computer science and engineering, and the Bernard M. Gordon Professor of Medical Engineering.

John Guttag
Professor Guttag is the Dugald C. Jackson Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at MIT. He leads the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory’s Data Driven Medical Research Group.

I forgot to add, the actual MIT courses that served as the source material that the MITx course is based on are available for study on MIT OCW:

Very cool! I liked my time with Python, although we didn't get into any web development. One day I may check out Django.
