If you have zero knowledge I think Saylor and SL are both going to be very challenging. SL may be a little easier to pass because of the grading system, Saylor is all on the final exam and no project grades. The first half of the SL projects are fairly straightforward, the projects near the end require a bit more skill and extra thinking.
I have just looked at the grading criteria and the programming assignments have changed since I did the SL course. Im not sure the grading criteria on the SL website is correct, there seems to be too many Cipher assignments.
The last 3 assignments are now:
Programming assignments: Breaking Transposition Ciphers
Programming assignments: Breaking Substitution and Transposition Ciphers
Programming assignments: Cryptographic File Manager
I did:
Programming Assignment 6: Upset Fowl (text based Angry Birds game)
Programming Assignment 7: Marketing Software
Programming Assignment 8: Inventory System
