This email is to bring attention to a course that is being offered free of charge through Coursera. It is called “The Raspberry Pi Platform and Python Programming for the Raspberry Pi” and begins on August 29th I believe. I have taken a few courses through Coursera and have found it to a good platform to learn on.

I have enrolled in this course to check it out and if anyone else does it would be great to know in the course message boards that they are listeners to Podnutz.

Here is a link to the course:
