From marilyn at pythontrainer.com Thu Sep 15 03:20:03 2011 From: marilyn at pythontrainer.com (Marilyn Davis) Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:20:03 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [PyOP] It's Autumn; Study Python Message-ID: <49596.67.169.189.143.1316049603.squirrel@mail.tigertech.net> Hi, Starting September 23, we're offering a 9-session, Friday evening, Python class at UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara, right across 101 from the Great America sign. This 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 on for six Tuesday evenings from October 11 to November 15. 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 Oct 17. And, if you want to take the Programmers' class retreat-style, for four days in a row, join us on December 5 - 8. 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.
