UCSC Santa Clara Classes: one for programmers; one for beginners Message-ID: <40921.67.169.189.143.1334611153.squirrel@mail.tigertech.net> Hi, This week we start two classes at our labs at UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara, right across 101 from the Great America sign. 9 Tues evenings: Python for Programmers 6 Friday evenings: Python for Beginners Direct links are at: http://pythontrainer.com The Programmers' class will be low-pressure, but fast-paced, where students learn and practice core concepts and Pythonic thinking. To join this class, you should be well-practiced at programming in some other language. If you don't feel up to the face-paced class for seasoned programmers, please take the Python for Beginning Programmers class for six Thursday evenings. There we will concentrate on some basic engineering mechanisms so that you can take the Programmers' class at a later time. Another choice is to take the Programmers' class online with videos, pdf's, and online discussion, to guide you through the practice. You can join the online class now; you must join by May 21. All the Python courses are hands-on. After each short lecture, students are given lab time and exercises that provide practice with the new concepts. Next, a new material set is distributed which contains solutions to the lab exercises and notes for the next short lecture, and the next set of lab exercises. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. http:www.pythontrainer.com Please come, and send students! Marilyn Davis, Ph.D. Python Instructor
