[TCMUG] Python and Programming for Non-Traditional Programmers

[Amanda Nyren]

Hi all,

I am co-teaching a class through the Twin Cities 
Experimental College on programming for the uninitiated 
and non-traditional programmers starting in October. We 
will be using Python and I'm guessing there might be folks 
on this list that are interested or know others who are. 
If you're already a proficient programmer, you are also 
welcome to sit in or help/mentor.

Please apply directly through:

Bits and Bites -- Programming First Steps

Do you think that programmers are born with keyboards in 
their hands? Programmers are made, not born -- you too can 
code with the best of them. If you're interested in 
breaking down the barriers and mystique around 
programming, join us! Learn to code in a chill, 
non-judgmental environment.

Your facilitators, Gregg and Amanda, come from 
non-traditional programming backgrounds, and used to be 
N00bs. We have no patience for alpha geeks, macho baloney, 
and geek superiority.

Our big project is a web application that allows you to 
play a "Choose Your Own Adventure" that you write 
yourself! (example: http://lind-beil.net:8118/).
