FOR EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS Next Monday evening we begin the 9 week course for experienced programmers, which gives students experience in all core concepts of Python: The Programmers' course is low-pressure, but fast-paced, where students learn and practice core concepts and Pythonic thinking. To join any of these Python classes, you should be well-practiced at programming in some other language. No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python. If you are beginner, find your class below. http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274428 ONLINE CLASS: If you would prefer an online class, you will enjoy: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274068 The online site for this course is open now and new enrollments will be accepted until April 8. FOR NOVICES For 6 Thursday evenings, starting April 17, we will hold the "Introduction To Programming For Beginners, Using Python" class which prepares programming novices to take the Python For Programmers' class: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=3576274&SectionID=5274427 If you have programming experience in any language skip the Beginners class listed above and join a Programmers' class. ---- All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of exercises where we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. Please come, and send students! --- And, the first quarter of the professional course is available for $20 at Udemy.Com! I'm so busy that I can't say when the rest of the course will be there, but I'm working on it. https://www.udemy.com/pythonic-python-part-i-the-basics/ I hope you find one of these classes useful to your schedule and your taste.
