the course is small and very self contained, but it gives the essentials of a mindset that is very useful and is strengthened throughout the course.

Solid course that dives deeper into the fundamentals of CS. Great instruction, attention to detail and the excercises are adequately challenging for beginners and lower-intermediate programmers.
