The course is low-pressure, but fast-paced, where students learn and practice core concepts and Pythonic thinking. To join this class, you should be well-practiced at programming in some other language. No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python. If you are beginner, please find your class below under "NOVICES".

If you would prefer more time with the online materials, and with me and my online assistant instructor, Casey The, then you might like to wait and join the class that opens August 5: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274872 FOR NOVICES For 6 Thursday evenings, starting July 10, we will hold the "Introduction To Programming For Beginners, Using Python" class which prepares programming novices to take the Python For Programmers' class: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=3576274&SectionID=5274926 which is 6 nights of acquiring basic programming skills in python and makes you ready for the next programmers class If you have programming experience in any language skip the Beginners class listed above and join a Programmers' class. ---- All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of exercises where we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. Please come, and send students! --- And, the first quarter of the professional course is available for $20 at Udemy.Com! I'm so busy that I can't say when the rest of the course will be there, but I'm working on it. https://www.udemy.com/pythonic-python-part-i-the-basics/ I hope you find one of these classes useful to your schedule and your taste.
