The textbook comes in two versions: a printed book named Python for Software Design, and a free online version named Think Python. Despite the different titles, the two versions have the same contents.
Optional texts:
There are many good books and resources online and in dead trees version. A few notable ones:
- The "Official" Python docs:
- A good place to go for reference, and not a bad tutorial.
- Dive Into Python: Dead trees version, web version
- Dive Into Python is a getting pretty old and has not been updated for a good while -- nevertheless, thre is a lot of good stuff in there.
- Python Essential Reference:
- The definitive reference for both Python and much of the standard library.
This class assumes a basic knowledge of programming. Thus I will try to emphasize what is unique about Python, with perhaps less focus on general programing concepts.
One learns programming by doing -- I'l be demonstrating as I talk about concept, and we will pause frequently to give you a chance to try things out.
