Another online class done ! This time with MIT and EdX.
MITx: 6.00.1x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python
Final score: 99%. Yeah, right! I got a 99% from an MIT class! Go me!
That said, the class served as a refresher of some Computer Science principles that I haven’t used in ages. Big-O Notation for one. I get it, I understand Big-O Notation, but I suck at it. I fail to properly identify which is which. I failed that concept when I was in university, and here I am 30 years later, still failing it. Sigh… Somehow, my brain blocks on this concept.
Apart from that, everything was review. It was mostly Computer Science, not even Python. I still think like a C programmer, and not a true Pythonista. And I know it. There were cases where I had to Google the proper Python way to do things, and not the C way. The class didn’t give any feedback on coding style, so I didn’t get the answers that I needed but getting access to Python code afterwards helped.
