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).
