[MUSIC] Well, hello, we are at Bletchley Park where computer science, Internet, history technology and all of computations started here at Bletchley Park and we've had a very special record setting office hours. I want you to meet your fellow students, okay? So here we go. So, howdy, state your name and- >> Hi, I'm Steve. >> Well, also, but you should say that you're somebody special. You're not just Steve. >> [LAUGH] >> Well, I'm one of the mentors for the Python course, all of them. [LAUGH] >> So welcome, Steve. It's an honor to have worked with you all these years, right. Steve is the one that does all the hard work. I get all the credit and people like Steve and other mentors, they actually do the hard work. So thank you, Steve, thank you so much. >> Well, thanks for inviting me down. With your help, it was brilliant. >> Yeah, so say hi to the rest of the class. >> Hi, I'm Benua, I'm originally from France. I live here in London and very happy to be here and meet you, Dr. Chuck. >> I'm happy to meet you. >> I've done the Internet History class, I really loved it. I'm really keen to do the next one, on the Python, yeah? >> Cool. And don't worry, it's a very wide angle, so I'm not really taking a picture of your nose. >> [LAUGH] >> Hopefully, hi, I'm Craig. I'm doing the Python web data, and see you online. >> Okay, did you get in trouble when that guy come talk to you? >> Yeah. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> You're okay, though? >> Yeah, for now. >> They're going to let you come back? >> Yeah. >> I'm Steve. I've done the first Python course and I'm going to be doing some of the others soon and I found it really, really useful in getting my way into the language, which is really helpful. >> Thanks. >> Hi, I'm Jenny and I'm a software developer and I use the Python For Everybody course to teach a programming class at an international school in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And it's good to be here at Bletchley Park, England. >> You know that the book's translated into Chinese, right? Does that work in Thailand? >> Not so well. >> Okay. See, I guess I'm not that cool. >> Different squid. >> Okay, okay. >> Hello, I'm Arnold from France. I work in my university as an Arduino instructor. And because of the Python class I forgot the syntax of Arduino, that was embarrassing in my job. >> You mean processing? You don't use processing anymore? You use Python instead of processing? >> No, I use the Arduino. I'm supposed to do debugging at the university, but all the semicolons everywhere and I forgot it in the Python so that makes it embarrassing. >> Well, welcome. Did you travel from Paris? >> Yeah. >> You came from Paris, to here? >> Yes, I did. >> [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE] >> [INAUDIBLE] Eurostar. >> I guess it is from Eurostar. It's not like coming from Australia, right? I guess it's not- >> Someone beats me up. >> No, no, no, I'm not saying- >> [LAUGH] >> No, no, I'm saying you're right. Eurostar, Paris is closer than we think. >> I'm Kevin, I've only come from London. But it's been really good to hear how Coursera is put together and how you make the course. And thank you. >> Well, thanks for coming. >> Hi, I am Je An. >> I'm Supoot. We are from China. >> But we are living here. >> You're students? >> Yeah, we are working in the UK at the moment. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So it's nice to meet you here at Bletchley Park, and Python course in great. >> Yeah. >> Cool. >> Hello, I'm Yanis. I used to work with Python for a long time but it's the first time that I'm taking a course just to see the language properly, thank you. >> Hello, I'm Isabel. I use your courses to refresh my computer science knowledge. >> Yes. >> I'm learning Python with you. I've come to Bletchley Park at least five times. >> Like you, you're a fan like me. >> I would have loved to have worked here during the war. It would have been so exciting. >> Yeah, you know three-quarters of the people here were women? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, very impressive. >> We don't have have the most interesting jobs, all of them, but we. >> Exactly, exactly. >> Hi, I'm Patrick. I did the Internet History course, and it's a very exciting day for me today, because when I did that course I said I wanted to go to Bletchley Park, and I'm here today. And I also said I wanted to come to one of Dr. Chuck's Office Hours, so I got to do two at once today, which is quite brilliant. >> Yeah, one of my ideas is that this is our class reunion. Yeah. >> I was thinking we could have a class reunion. >> Hi, I'm David. I've taken your Python courses and your Internet History course and I'm loving them. >> Welcome, glad you're here. >> Hi, I'm Paul, and I've done the Python courses and they're great, thank you. >> Hi, I'm Keith from Cambridge and I have done your Python courses. I'm currently doing the web one. Very excited to be here with you. And it's great to try and teach kids, so I'm actually learning it because my son's doing Python for his exam, so hopefully I can help him. >> Right, you're only a couple blocks from Raspberry Pi headquarters, right, here in Cambridge? >> That's right. >> And they're doing Python stuff there too as well. >> Big time. >> Yeah, I'd like to get that all connected somehow. >> Think of a cunning plan. >> Yeah. >> Hi, I'm Roger. I've done the Python for Everybody course and I've just started the web one, and I'm really looking forward to going right through it. >> Cool. >> Hi, I'm Thaddeus. I come originally from Poland but I live here in the UK. I just started my journey with Python. I should say thank you very much for everything you're doing. It's really, really good stuff. And yes? >> So here's the question, do you know the history of Bletchley Park and the three Polish cryptographers? >> Very, very on the right. Well, I bet you everybody who's historians here have done a really good job of making that clear. >> Which brings me to next question. When are you going to come to the Office Hours to Poznan, in Poland? You have a lot of fans there. >> Well, I go many places, so maybe we'll figure that out. >> One more thing. >> Okay. >> [LAUGH] >> Hello to my wife and two daughters. [SOUND] There you go. >> [LAUGH] >> Hi, I'm Marti, I live just north of London. I took the first Python course so I could keep up with my little boy who's learning it in school, basically. >> Great. >> It's lovely to meet you. >> Well, lovely to meet you. >> Hello there, my name's Andrew. I'm a pensioner, just doing the Python course for interest, and I'm hoping to combine that with little projects I've got with the Raspberry Pi. But I think the Python course is a gripping course. Well done. >> You're very young for a pensioner. >> Indeed. >> [LAUGH] >> Far too far into my 70s. >> [LAUGH] >> Hello, I'm Adam. I came with my family and I've just started to learn Python. I've liked to use it in my IT work, job, and later I would like to teach my daughter in programming. Yeah, at some point that'll become normal. Do you have some? >> Just our next generation of code breakers. >> Exactly. >> Important to bring them to the ground zero. >> Ground zero, ground zero of it all. And in the future it will be so much better. We break this ground and it'll stay broken. >> Definitely. >> Hi. >> Hi, I'm Alice. I live in Bristol. I did the- >> Bristol, that's far away. That's that way. >> It's a couple of hours, yeah, southwest. So I did the Python course a few months ago. And I'm going to do your new one, course three. >> Great, yeah, course three. Looking forward to seeing you in course three. >> But yeah, they're really good. I tried some other ones from Coursera and they weren't anywhere near as good. >> I'll have to cut that out. Maybe I won't cut that part out. >> Hi, I'm Yang. It's nice to see you in real life, finally. I'm an analyst so I hope to be able to use your work, learning Python and apply it to my work. So I'll follow you to Capstone, I'm pretty sure. >> Well, great. [LAUGH] >> So keep up the good work. Well, hopefully I'll figure out the Capstone by the time we get to Capstone. Hi. >> Hi, I'm David. I'm from Ormskirk, north of Liverpool. I work as a learning technologist and I'm interested in doing the Python course to bring my program skills up to date because they're about 20 years behind. >> I'm a learning technologist myself. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Hello. >> Hi, I'm Cynthia. >> Yeah? >> And I'm taking your Python course, which is excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn programming. And I'm on a career break right now, raising Aidan and Tyco. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> And it's been great for maintaining intellectual sanity. >> That is a use case that's very important, actually. But your career has something to do with nuclear reactors, or? >> No, no, no. >> Stealth aircraft? >> No, no, no, used to do a bit of mass spectrometry. >> Mass spectrometry, whatever. I knew it was complex. >> So without the computational part, mass spectrometries are useless. >> Well, mass spectrometry is a needle in a haystack problem. >> Yeah, but it if it weren't for the programming, we couldn't make any sense of that data and I never knew how to do that before and I hope when I go back I'll actually know what I'm doing. >> Well, great, great. That's a great way to do a career break. >> Hi, my name is Ahmed, I'm from London, and I've done the Internet and History of Technology course, and I'm looking forward to doing the Python course. >> Great, great. Do you want to be on? Are you hiding? >> No, just my wife. >> Okay, you're the photographer. [LAUGH] >> Okay, so we'll get wide shot of you all. Give yourself a large round of applause for your awesomeness and initiative and- >> [APPLAUSE] >> So there we have it, the first perhaps of many class reunions here at Bletchley Park, so see you on the net.
