Update the Intro CS course, as per #1266 (comment), asking for feedback on that RFC, and pointing to Intro programming courses if someone finds the new course difficult.

Closes #1164, as it is not needed anymore.

Thanks for the PR! I dropped in suggestions for a few phrasing updates.


This course will introduce you to the world of computer science. Students who have been introduced to programming, either from the courses above or through study elsewhere, should take this course for a flavor of the material to come. If you finish the course wanting more, Computer Science is likely for you!

This course is under review. While this course has been tried to be designed to accomodate people completely new to programming, if you find this course difficult to follow, you can try doing one of the [Intro to Programming courses](coursepages/intro-programming/README.md) first, and then do this course. We would like to hear your feedback regarding this course, and whether you needed to do the [Intro to Programming courses](coursepages/intro-programming/README.md) first. Please provide your feedback on this RFC: <https://github.com/ossu/computer-science/issues/1266>.
