Dear Juan Carlos Cabrejas,
Welcome to 6.00x: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming! When the course begins on Monday (10/1), you will be joining tens of thousands of other students from around the world in MIT's newest online course. In addition to learning the basics of computer programming in Python, and the fundamentals of computation, you will get hands-on experience implementing a variety of Python programs and using powerful Python libraries.
The course website is available starting today! We invite you to visit

Click on the "View Courseware" link to gain access to the course syllabus, calendar and other materials. Starting on October 1, there will be new lecture videos and homework assignments posted every Monday at 10:00 AM EST. There will be two midterm exams and one final exam; you can find more information about these by visiting the course website.
Our primary communication channel will be the website’s interactive forum, where students and staff will get to contribute to an ongoing discussion of the material.
