== Class Description, Goals, and Ideal Student ==

The pace of the courses will be fast, and the materials will be available online 24/7 and we plan to frequently repeat modules that are in high demand with new twists as we iterate over the course materials.

A primary goal of the course is to break down the materials into independent units. In other words, if you miss a week then you won't fall behind. Sounds good, right?

To best experience the course, spend a short time studying the course materials before you come in. If you wish to know this week's courses, please send an email out to PyClass@googlegroups.com

The ideal student for this course can understand the following code (it's fine to use Google to look up the built in functions, and we use tons of web resources throughout the course materials):

<source lang="python">

word_frequency_dict = {}
word = "noisebridge"

for letter in word:
times = word_frequency_dict.get(letter, 0)
times += 1
word_frequency_dict.update( {letter : times} )

</source>

== Course List ==

The order of the following courses has not yet been determined.

Please [http://groups.google.com/group/pyclass ask on the mailing list] if you want to know what courses are coming this week!

# JSON format, Python Types, and the JSON Module
# Control Flow, itertools, and Functional Programming
# Built-in Functions
# Built-in Types and String Services
# Numeric and Mathematical Modules, and Operators
# argparse, ConfigParser, and more - configuring your applications
# pip, virtualenv, packaging, versions, and inspect.
# Logging your applications: logging, logging.config, logging.handlers
# Exceptions and Debugging: Exception behavior, custom exceptions, pdb, cProfile, timeit, time, trace.
# os, sys, and io (Caution, here be Python 3, inside the io module)
# (potential for a unittest course)
