I'll be back to school on Tuesday, teaching another Python class.
I'm about to throw together a web based worksheet for use in class
(each student will pull it up in a browser). I'll be recycling a
lot of familiar material. Just thought I'd brainstorm out loud
about the contents, then whip it together, then come back here and
share the URL.<br>
<br>
I want to review some of what we've done so far, include a lot of links, preview some of the content ahead.<br>
<br>
Topics: <br>
Google Earth, Celestia and Stellarium for orientation (hello world)<br>
Latitude / Longitude<br>
XML<br>
Python: <br>
shell mode<br>
primitive objects vs. collections<br>
Collections:<br>
list<br>
dictionary<br>
string<br>
tuple<br>
Expressions:<br>
list comprehensions<br>
Functions:<br>
getting started with sequences: triangular, tetrahedral numbers etc.<br>
Generators:<br>
same ground, different capabilities<br>
generator expressions<br>
...<br>
<br>
That should be enough to get me going. I'll be back soon with
that URL. It'll be a work in progress and I'll be open to
feedback (positive, negative, neutral, indifferent).<br>
