Don't pursue it for the credentials. Apply what you learn in the class to practical projects you're interested in. Build a GitHub profile of various repositories showcasing what you've learned and it will impress a future employer far more than credentials on paper ever will!

Agreed. Having both the intro to programming MOOC down and a GitHub is really the way to go. This way if you apply to somewhere where the primary business is not programming you will have something to show HR and also something to show whomever is interviewing you.
