[Tutor] Guest at Foothill College?
Would you be able to come talk to beginning
Python students at Foothill College, Middlefield
campus in Palo Alto? The students are working on a
real world project and can really benefit from a guest
from industry who can critique their work and answer
questions about your career.
You would not have to prepare anything, just a
10 minute phone conversation with me will bring you up
to speed on their project and enable you to give the
students good feedback when you watch their
presentations. Then, you could just respond to their
questions about Python and your career. The whole
thing shouldn't take more than an hour.
Here are the dates you could choose from:
Wednesdays at Middlefield campus in Palo Alto
21 Nov, 6 pmdesign/architecural review
28 Nov, 6 pm code review
5 Dec, 6 pm code review
12 Dec, 6 pm code review
Let me know as soon as possible if you are
interested, and don't hesitate to ask me for more
details. Thanks so much for considering this!

[Tutor] How to teach Python
I am going to be teaching "Introduction to Python Programming" in the Fall at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA. This is a 5 quarter unit class for students who already know one programming language. I have been teaching programming for 20 years now, including Java and C++ as of late. As I prepare this class, I have some questions that I I am hoping you can shed some light on. 1) Programming Style while 1: x = next() if not x: break I have never allowed students to use break or continue in any programming class I have taught. I think of this type of code as belonging with the dreaded GOTO. I find that students who are having difficulty writing complex conditions in a loop use multiple if's with break's inside the loop instead. Also, it is MUCH easier to read a loop if the condition for continuing in the loop is right up at the top of the loop where it belongs. I have always thought of break and continue as hacks that are not compatible with structured programming techniques. The only exception is using break in a switch in C, C++ and Java. However, all Python books seem to contain sample programs like this one. Do you think that code like this is desirable? 2) Since this is an introductory class, I am tempted to leave out "optional" topics like argument matching modes, walk, map, filter, reduce, apply. Do you think these are required for any Python programmer? 3) I need to teach a GUI in this class. I would like something that is easy, standard, and multi-platform. I am considering Tkinter and Jython. Any opnions on this? Thanks for any answers you might have. -Elaine Haight __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Tutor] Python Course at Foothill College
If you would like to learn Python, Foothill College in
Los Altos Hills, CA is offering a course starting
Mon. evening, 25 Sept. The course is designed for
students who are already familiar with some type of
programming. Here is the course description:
CIS 68K "INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON PROGRAMMING" 5 Units
This course will introduce students to the Python
language and environment. Python is a portable,
interpreted, object-oriented programming language that
is often compared to Perl, Java, Scheme and Tcl. The
language has an elegant syntax, dynamic typing, and a
small number of powerful, high-level data types. It
also has modules, classes, and exceptions. The modules
provide interfaces to many system calls and libraries,
as well as to various windowing systems(X11, Motif,
Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written
in C or C++. Such extension modules can define new
functions and variables as well as new object types.
Four hours lecture, four hours terminal time.

Re: [Tutor] Python Course at Foothill College
Foothill is a community college (2-year college), and CIS is computer information systems. I always teach the fundamentals like how to write efficient, modifiable and documented software. This is an introductory course, so we won't be covering data structures and algorithms. We will cover files, Exceptions, Classes. regular expressions and Tkinter, et al. Thanks for the interest! -Elaine --- Luke Paireepinart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Elaine wrote: > > If you would like to learn Python, Foothill > College in > > Los Altos Hills, CA is offering a course starting > > Mon. evening, 25 Sept.
