UCSC Santa Clara Class for absolute beginners Message-ID: <57716.50.131.113.180.1341852004.squirrel@mail.tigertech.net> Hi, Thursday we begin a 6 week class for beginners at our labs at UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara, right across 101 from the Great America sign. Direct link is at: http://pythontrainer.com The Beginners' class is intended for people who have no programming experience in any language. We will concentrate on some basic engineering mechanisms. If you find you like programming, you can take the Programmers' class at a later time. 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
