About the course

Programming for Lovers (P4❤️) is a free online course that teaches programming using the Go programming language by immersing learners in fun scientific applications.

Each chapter focuses on a single scientific problem and contains a core text accompanied by code alongs and autograded exercises.

You can meet Phillip Compeau in our intro video. Phillip has taught programming at Carnegie Mellon University for years and is a serial online education founder. He is thrilled to bring you this course.


“I wish I had P4❤️ earlier!”

The lessons are organized in a very logical way, making the course very smooth and enjoyable. You will write elegant algorithms that will give you priceless insight into problem solving.
