We know.

You’ve been wanting to learn to code forever; but you keep finding excuses to put it off.

You’re already got development experience; but you’ve been looking for a way to brush up on a new language.

Procrastinate no longer!

    I am registered for A Gentle Introduction to Python but have started late. The course emails I receive instruct me to go to Open Study to ask questions. I’m at Open Study now typing this message, but I don’t see any link that takes me to page for people who are asking questions about the course. Please advise.
