This was the first online course that I took and it really set the standard for the rest. Nick Parlante is a brilliant instructor whose enthusiasm was contagious. He ended up inspiring me enough to further study on a couple of the topics he touched upon. Also, the experience really made me check out more MOOCs. Recommend it to anyone who doesn't want too much workload and is ready to be inspired.

Nick has a great style. This course is designed for people who know next to nothing about computers (there is even a video showing how a hard-drive is build and how it spins). If you are undecided if programming is for you, this is the course to take.
You will not learn any real programming in this course, but you will learn the basic rules that govern all kinds of computer programming. This course uses an adapted version of Javascript, but does not teach real-life version of Javascript.

I personally feel this course was way too easy however I think this would be a good course to take for others who struggled with other introductory computer science courses such as Udacity's CS101,

I have been taking several coruses last year, but this one was the best. Nick is a great teacher and it keeps me motivated the way he talks.
I like Nicks way of learning.

I will surely take another courses by Nick!

Its just that I did not expect that much programming, but its simple programming.

This course was the most fun I have ever had learning about computers. Toggling between the lectures and tasks was a nice set up. Nick and his staff where friendly and made learning easy. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the basics of computer science.
