An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python

这是在coursera上面的一门学习pyhton的基础课程，由RICE的四位老师主讲。生动有趣，一共是9周的课程，每一周都会有一个小游戏，经历一遍，对编程会产生很大的兴趣。

所有的程序全部在老师开发的在线平台进行测试，并且还有“VIZ mode”，可以通过可视化的模式，理解程序的进程。

This class is nine weeks long. For most weeks, you will watch two sets of videos (part a and part b) and then complete one quiz for each set. These quizzes have a soft deadline of Tuesday/Thursday, respectively, and a hard deadline
of Saturday. The main task for each week is to complete a mini-project that is due on Saturday. You will then be asked to assess your peer's mini-projects on the following Sunday-Wednesday.
