Week 1: Humble Beginnings
Explorers, thanks for helping us kickoff this year's Python project.
Your mission this week is to install Python on your computer and try out some example programs in the tutorial.
If you have any questions, please let us know by emailing python (a)(t) post6201.org.
- Check out http://python.org for download links for a variety of operating systems. The Python 2.6.3 Windows installer is what most of you will need.
- Please read the first seven chapters of the Non-Programmers Tutorial for Python PDF Link
- At the very least, try to create the "Area" program described at the end of chapter 7. Email it to us for extra special credit.
Finally, you can subscribe to the Python Project RSS feed by using http://www.post6201.org/backend/6201python.rdf in your favorite news reader!
