On Saturday morning, we'll work through an introduction to the Python programming language. We'll cover the topics below interactively, by experimenting together at a Python prompt and reading and modifying example scripts that demonstrate these concepts. The afternoon projects will be another great way to practice.

  1. Basic data types: numbers, strings, lists, dicts, and sets
  2. Printing and comment characters
  3. Flow control: if, for, while, break, continue
  4. Functions
  5. Error handling
  6. I/O: raw_input, file I/O, sys.argv
  7. Classes: classes, self, inheritance
  8. Modules: importing modules, __name__ == "__main__"
