Overview

Python, the language used in this course, is an easy-to-learn, high-level programming language widely used in many computational courses on Coursera. To support learning, a browser-based programming environment has been developed to simplify the creation of interactive Python applications. These applications include graphical windows that respond to user input such as buttons, keyboard actions, and mouse interactions.

Key Facts

In Part 2 of the An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python (Part 2) course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University, additional programming elements such as lists, dictionaries, and loops are introduced and applied to create interactive games such as Blackjack. The course culminates in building a version of the classic arcade game Asteroids. Upon completion, learners are able to write small but engaging Python programs. The next course in the specialization introduces a more structured approach to programming and computational problem-solving, enabling the development of larger and more complex programs.
