I have published online a new 'Introduction to Computing with Python' study pack. This 'Python First' digital pack is intended for students with little or no prior programming experience. This digital pack is all-in-one solution. Ten self-contained online chapters consist of e-texts (66,000 words), 730 slides, 62 labs (36,000 words), 58 sample programs, and 10 quizzes (280 questions). An experienced instructor can start teaching within minutes of logging on to StudyPack.com for the first time. If you are an educator and are interested in the potential of Python, you can explore the 'Python First' digital pack at http://studypack.com/. To gain free personal access, open an account and use enrollment key 31415. More detailed instructions of how to enroll are posted here: http://studypack.com/comp/mod/resource/view.php?inpopup=true&id=1915.

Answers to this and other questions are provided in the Questions and Answers resource. 4. A tuition-free summer workshop for educators http://studypack.com/comp/mod/resource/view.php?inpopup=true&id=1916 A tuition-free Python workshop for educators will be held this June at Chapman University in Orange, California. Preliminary versions of the 'Python First' pack have been used by me and my colleagues at Chapman University in California since 2004. The pack will be used in other schools starting this fall. I will be happy to answer any questions or provide additional information. Respectfully, Atanas Radenski mailto:radenski@chapman.edu http://www.chapman.edu/~radenski/
