I've volunteered to assist with a "pre-engineering" course at the local high school. The plan is to give the kids (Juniors) some exposure to different engineering disciplines. Some 40 days or so will be devoted to Python and programming.
I plan on using the Waterloo http://cscircles.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/0-introduction/ web site to get them started. This Detailed lessons will probably come from the early chapters in http://www.diveintopython3.net/ I'm also planning some special topics: * 2's Complement Arithmetic (why -1 == x'ffffffff') * Public Key Encryption * Conversations With Servers: Sending EMail * Conversations With Servers: Requesting Web Page * Conversations With Servers: Turning a Name Into an Address * Peter Norvig: Spelling Corrector * Peter Norvig: Soduko Solver The last two items are from Peter Norvig's web site (he's a google honcho and AI authority) http://norvig.com/ I'm hoping that those two example Python programs will provide some inspiration as well as practical how-to examples. I'm hoping for suggestions on special topics and interesting assignments. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug&sort=stamp http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
