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.

Re: [Tutor] Python Course at Foothill College
I'll have to second that...my school is wrapped up with Java, C#, and Scheme. Python has all about ruined me for programming in other languages, and I really wish Python was taught/allowed at my school. I'm currently working on a team for CSC 480 (Senior Project - Design Phase) and we're forced to choke down Microsoft design models (I'm an avid open source advocate...(http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ for a paper by Eric S. Raymond that, for me, hits the nail on the head).) *sigh* Perhaps when I start grad school I'll be in a position to use my favored language...until then I guess .NET wins. By the way, CIS at my school is a hybrid between business and computer science. It's basically a lightweight computer science degree combined with a lightweight business degree. From a computer science standpoint, it does cover the fundamentals (architectures, programming, data structures, algorithms, etc...) but does not include the senior project course series, advanced database admin, Windows admin, etc...

CIS is part of the business school and doesn't have much to do with Computer Science. Is that how it is there as well? If so, do you have Computer Science courses in Python as well? (I don't live anywhere near CA, I'm just interested.) Wish my school used Python. -Luke ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[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. If you would like to sign up for the class, please register beforehand by going to: http://www.foothill.fhda.edu/reg/index.php If you have questions, you can contact the instructor at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! -Elaine Haight __ Do You Yahoo!?
