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.
I want to review some of what we've done so far, include a lot of links, preview some of the content ahead.
Topics:
Google Earth, Celestia and Stellarium for orientation (hello world)
Latitude / Longitude
XML
Python:
shell mode
primitive objects vs. collections
Collections:
list
dictionary
string
tuple
Expressions:
list comprehensions
Functions:
getting started with sequences: triangular, tetrahedral numbers etc.
Generators:
same ground, different capabilities
generator expressions
...
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).
