This course will provide a rough tutorial on the Python progamming language. It will introduce the basics of Python programming, some advanced concepts, and useful libraries.
Students are encouraged to bring a laptop with the latest version of Python installed. Students are expected to be familiar with procedural and object-oriented programming through a language like C++ or Java.
Seating is limited, and there may not be enough room for everyone. Students in CSE4/6413 have priority other other students as they need it for their class this semester. If space becomes a problem, we will move the class for the later days.
