This unusual class is for beginners who have not programmed before. If you know how to program in any language, it is not for you. We will study and practice a few programming techniques that are common to all computer languages, but we will do them the Python way. The idea of the class is to give beginners an opportunity to experience the programmers' craft, but to spend the least possible time and money to learn if programming is an activity they enjoy. Also, if programming does resonate with the student, then the student is in a good position to take the programmers' class at a later date. All the UCSC-Extension 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!
