So you've got this great new idea, but it requires a computer.. The<br>
blasted thing just doesn't do what you need it to do out of the box.<br>
You've got a few options: you can give up on your project (I'm just<br>
saying..), you can find a programmer to whisper sweet nothings to your<br>
expensive doorstop (you may have to bribe them), or you can master the<br>
art of pillow talk for your processor. Presumably, you're interested<br>
in the last option. While I can't promise you that you'll become the<br>
Fabio of circuitry over-night, I can promise you'll know how to<br>
motivate that doorstop of yours if you attend my class.<br>
In a less-than-formal environment, I plan to take you from not even<br>
having python installed to understanding the fundamentals of<br>
programming. If all goes well, you should be able to create fairly<br>
complicated programs, understand (and know how to find) the python<br>
online documentation, and have this irrational urge to learn more. For<br>
those with some background in programming, we'll be covering:<br>
variables, if-statements, looping, fundamental data structures,<br>
functions, and modules. If that didn't make any sense, or you don't<br>
already know how to do all that in python, this is the class for you!<br>
