I'm teaching some prospective K-12 teachers this summer and propose to introduce them to Python. Reasons are numerous - It's the least weird language I know. - It offers so many programming styles. - And not least, it's free SO: Any recommendations as to course textbooks? Or just go with Zelle and/or O'Reilly's latest wood rat book? - The students presumably have had programming courses already. - I would think that K-12 students would be happier if they could generate some graphics. - This is a 6-weeks course. Little leisure time. Appreciate any advice. Peter Chase Sul Ross State University
