We will also provide IPython notebook that will contain many examples. We are also introducing a new collaborative learning tool. You can choose to take one of the course according to your schedule. The content and material used in the course are identical. The first course starts on June 23rd 2017 and ends on Sept 8th 2017 and will be held every Friday from 6:30pm-9:30 pm. The second course starts on June 28th 2017 and ends on Sept 6th 2017 and will be held every Wednesday from 6:30-9:30 pm. To register for either section visit *http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625 *and by selecting either the tab 3064.132 or 3064.134. UCSC Extension is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hence, many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. Join now to become a Pythonista and program in one of the fastest growing language. You can email me at chityala at gmail.com if you have any questions.
