    About the Course

    This MOOC provides you with the foundational skill set required to write computer programs. If you are interested in learning how to write
    interactive, graphical programs from an introductory level in a real programming language, this is the course for you. You will begin by learning
    the basics of editing and running programs. Then you will learn how to create 2D graphics using shapes and coordinates. Finally, you will learn
    how to create interactive graphics that you can control with the mouse. You will even solve a set of interactive puzzles using your coding skills in
    the Sleuth game which has been created especially for this course. The course uses the Javascript language and the p5.js library.

    It's worth the hard work. I'm insatiable for learning and need more impossible looking projects or games that Coursera designed to help the student really get into the world of computer programming.

    The course is built up well, the steps are easy to follow. Even when there is some research required, the intentional gaps are highly manageable. The gamified deliverables were really fun to do! :-)

    Muy buen curso.

    Aprendes las bases necesarias para dibujar en un canvas. Lo demás se puede investigar directamente de la página de referencias de p5.js

    The interactive lessons are really helping me. I can read stuff all day as I have done with different courses. But, reading and doing are my jam.

    Well this is great for a beginner, who just started programming.

    If any one who knows how to program in any language, jump to the next right away.

    Все супер. Но есть один момент. Не очень понятно, что Sleuth можно проходить после прохождения 2 и 3 недели.

    I think the SLEUTH should not be compulsory for all the cases. Its is abit hard to complete everything
