About

(Note: lesson planning for this series is in progress, so this'll be updated over the next few weeks as the series nears.)

This is a beginner Python programming class. We're going to be starting from the ground up, and hopefully by the end you'll know how to make some small games with Pygame. No experience is needed.

Materials necessary:
- you are going to need an IDE (a place where you can run code) by the fourth session or so.

Session 1:
- basic data types & variables
- print() and input()
- data conversion & concatenation
Session 2:
- string indexing & slicing
- booleans & if/else statements
Session 3:
- lists & tuples
- while loops
Session 4:
- while loops (cont.)
- for loops
- mini-project 1 introduction
Session 5:
- office hours to work on projects

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Each session builds on the last, so I highly encourage coming to all of the sessions. If you can't make it, that's alright, but if you miss more than three without letting me know, you may be withdrawn.
