[BangPypers] The Joy of Programming

[Anand Chitipothu]

Hello everyone,

For more than a year, I've been thinking about what is a good way to
introduce programming to your students. I've presented some of my ideas at
the keynote talk[1] that I gave at PyConf Hyderabad last year.

Since the last six months, I've been working on building a new learning
platform and a new course
"The Joy of Programming", that introduces programming in a fun way, by
drawing interesting shapes and patterns. This course uses Python
programming language and Joy[2], a creative coding library that I've
created to make this course.

I'm happy to announce that the course is now live for everyone to sign up
and learn.

Here are some of the sketches made by the students on the platform.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. Please sign up try
making a sketch or two and share it with others who may be interested in
learning programming.
