Algorithm Education in Python
http://www.ece.uci.edu/~chou/py02/python.html
This article from Pai H. Chou at University of California, Irvine
shows how well the Python programming language maps itself
to the pseudocode used in _Introduction to Algorithms Second Editon_
[Corman, Leiserson, Rivest,
This is why I am going for programming instead of just CS. I am a very
hands on person.. although I know theory is good.. I just think it
needs to be evened out a bit :D.

Danyelle's question brings up an issue i have, and that is that
courses in colleges are typically "computer science" courses, at least
at the university level. there really aren't any "programming

It has been rather widely publicized of late that MIT this year switched
all their incoming computer science and electrical engineering students
to Python (from Lisp) as their introductory programming language.

FWIW this book is available to anyone with a .edu email address for
$71.53 plus shipping, from

It look great.. but being a student I can't afford such a high priced

Greetings,
Many books have the source code available for download somewhere,
or even a sample chapter? Are the examples in the book complete
programs, or are they snippets illustrating a concept? If the programs
are complete, what type of programs are they (business, science, other)?

As far as I am concerned this may be a commercial advertisement, but is
it a book on Python to help people learn Python. I get all of my
information from books and then turn to the lists (Tutor being one) to
get my questions asked or what I have learned clarified. I have a
difficult time read
I agree as well. Its not like there is a flood of these books coming
out, or emails slamming the list announcing them.
