Show HN: Intro to Python and Programming for non-CS majors (revisited) Hi there, I am the author of this Show HN post: https://ift.tt/33GWdOt Back then, I released the materials for my Intro to Python course "to the world".

If you have any "non-tech" friends who want to learn to code, please feel free to direct them to my course. Stay healthy everybody! January 20, 2021 at 01:20AM
