To join this class, you should be well-practiced at programming in some other language. If you don't feel up to the face-paced class for seasoned programmers, please take the Python for Beginning Programmers class for six Thursday evenings: Jul 12 - Aug 23, 2012. There we will concentrate on some basic engineering mechanisms so that you can take the Programmers' class at a later time. Another choice is to take the Programmers' class online with videos, pdf's, and online discussion, to guide you through the practice. You can join the online class now; you must join by July 16. All the Python courses are hands-on. After each short lecture, students are given lab time and exercises that provide practice with the new concepts. Next, a new material set is distributed which contains solutions to the lab exercises and notes for the next short lecture, and the next set of lab exercises. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. http:www.pythontrainer.com Please come, and send students! Marilyn Davis, Ph.D. Python Instructor
