I truly enjoyed going through this course and i have learned so much about computers, networks, websites and how they work in internet.
A good introduction to computers and computer science. Even someone experienced in the field can learn new concepts, though the course is really geared towards inexperienced learners.
It is awesome and wonderful experience. and in fact in-depth learning and knowledge of the courses/topics\n\nThankful to all the staff/members of Coursera and PSMO...
Very good course as an introduction to computing. Could stand to be more challenging, but the material is certainly easy enough for a true beginner.
关于 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming 专项课程
This specialisation covers topics ranging from basic computing principles to the mathematical foundations required for computer science. You will learn fundamental concepts of how computers work, which can be applied to any software or computer system. You will also gain the practical skillset needed to write interactive, graphical programs at an introductory level. The numerical mathematics component will provide you with numerical and computational tools that are essential for the problem solving and modelling stages of computer science.
