Introduction to Python

This repo contains some materials I use for a 3 hour session I conduct for the Rangeview High School Cyber Boot Camp. My presentation is an introduction to programming, and to the python language. What I want the students to get out of the presentation is a basic understanding of what programming is, what can be done with it, and some basic programming concepts.

This is a Big presentation meant to introduce basic programming concepts using python. It's also a big presentation, 768 slides.

Examples

Contains two examples of some basic programs

  • CoinToss.py - Simulate tossing a coin

  • AdvanceLog.py - A cleaner version of Log

This is essentially notes for going through the basic ideas of programming. The Big (python_presentation) presentation loosely follows the order of this.
