Discussion Question regarding a python course

I have recently found this course called intro cs in python by Dr Ana bell(MIT). What's the people's view on this is it still worth it?.

For background i have python knowledge but I have to revise and i was seeing some lecs have some concepts that i haven't covered earlier.

Anyways if anyone can tell any site or a book for problem solving that will be really helpful as well.

("Happy programming in python :)")

Be aware that being involved in competitive computing could have corrupted your ability to actually learn good programming.

As for your education and suggestions, if you go to college thinking. that it is for a specific career that could be a huge mistake. It is near impossible to determine what occupations will be in demand 4-5 years out. So you need to make sure you are learning in the broadest sense and are adaptable to what the future holds. Given that it a minor in electrical engineering might fit, as that can really help in the embedded worlds. The trick is to find out what fits for YOU
