=== Projects === |
|||
Need some project ideas? How about: |
|||
====Learning Python==== |
|||
* The official Python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/. This tutorial is very comprehensive, but it sometimes throws in unnecessarily advanced concepts. This is a solid tutorial for people with prior programming experience, and is still a good tutorial for new programmers if you are willing to skip over the advanced concepts and come back to them later. |
|||
* How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/. This tutorial does a particularly good job of introducing programming concepts and terminology. |
|||
* Learn Python the Hard Way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org. Despite the name, some people find this to be a gentler introduction than the official Python tutorial. |
|||
* An introduction to Python through writing games: http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/. |
|||
* A project/lecture on object oriented programming run by Anna Callahan. Download files here: [[July_project_night/OO_lesson | Object Orientation for beginners]] |
|||
====Practicing Python==== |
|||
* Practice Python online with bite-sized exercises: http://codingbat.com/python. |
|||
* The [[Boston Python Workshop]] has introductory and intermediate materials |
|||
** custom CodingBat exercises: http://openhatch.org/wiki/CodingBat. |
|||
** [[Boston Python Workshop 6/Saturday projects]] |
|||
** Intermediate Python Workshop Projects: http://bit.ly/intermediate-python-projects Intermediate Python Workshop Projects |
|||
** [[Scrabble challenge]] |
|||
====Projects ==== |
|||
* If you contribute to an open source project that uses Python and want to help new contributors, let us know |
|||
* Want to learn a Python web framework? Check out the Django tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/ |
|||
* Do data analysis and graphing in Python with the matplotlib plotting library: |
|||
** homepage: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ |
|||
** tutorial: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html |
|||
** John Hunter 2009 ChiPy talk: https://archive.org/details/CarlFKMatplotlibThePopular2DPlottingLibrary775 |
|||
* Do data analysis with the pandas library: |
|||
** homepage: http://pandas.pydata.org/ |
|||
** getting started: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html |
|||
* Graphite, awesome monitoring. https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html |
|||
* Making use of https://github.com/theycallmeswift/BreakfastSerial (requires that you bring an arduino and usb cable) |
|||
