SCHEDULE

This page lists the dates of all the lectures with links to slides and examples from the lecture (if any). Readings are in the electronic book Python Crash Course, 2nd Edition. To get the most out of lectures, skim the reading beforehand. You may also want to print out the slides before lecture so you can write on and/or highlight them during lecture. After the lecture, go back and read the pages carefully and do the book exercises. (These exercises are for your practice and not to be turned in or graded. It's still a good idea to do them to make sure you understand the material.)
