intro_programming

http://introtopython.org http://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming It got some stars when I first introduced it about a year ago, but I'm mentioning it because I've just picked up development on the project again. It's a site to help people teach and learn Python. I wanted to make an easy way for experienced Python devs to contribute to a site that helps people learn Python. Key features: - If you can use IPython Notebook, you can contribute to the project. Every page is an IPython Notebook that gets converted to html. To edit a page, check out the project and edit the notebook. - If you want to add a tutorial - for example, a tutorial about how to use PyGame, or how to use a specific data visualization tool, or any specific Python library - just make a new notebook, write your tutorial using IPython Notebook, and run intro_programmin

I teach an intro programming class in Python each fall, and this fall I started an open project to help my students learn Python: http://introtopython.org It's progressing steadily, and people seem to be responding positively to the first project, a tutorial about plotting geospatial data using matplotlib and Basemap: http://introtopython.org/visualization_earthquakes.html The whole project is on github: https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming PS I just accidentally ended a 132-day github streak, mostly focused on this project. I stared watching a movie with my wife last night, and at the end of the movie I looked at the clock and realized I forgot to make a commit before 11pm. No matter, it was never about the streak anyway. :)

I started an open resource for people interested in teaching and learning Python: http://introtopython.org This year I hope to bring the project to a level such that people brand new to programming can go from hello world to completing their first games and simple web apps. I aim to make the project section useful for experienced programmers who want a clear explanation of how to build interesting projects in Python. It's on github: http://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming

I've been working on an open resource for people interested in learning and teaching Python. I'd love some more eyeballs on the project, and I will happily accept Pull Requests. I'm happy to help you get set up on the project as well, so don't feel like you have to have a certain level of knowledge to help out; your perspective would be quite useful. github page: http://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming hosted version: http://introtopython.org ways to contribute: https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/issues/17

I am working on an open resource for people who want to learn Python: https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming There is a short list of specific ways to contribute here, but the project is young so jump in any way you'd like, if you are interested: https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/issues/17

I'm writing an open curriculum for learning Python, aimed at people who have never programmed before. The student-facing page is at http://introtopython.org, and the project page is at https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming. I started revising the curriculum for a class I teach each fall, and then realized I could just as easily turn it into an open resource. Now even though the class is over, I can't stop working on it. If anyone is interested, I'd love to have some professional eyes on some of the code samples, and I'd love some help writing exercises and challenges. It's still a young project, but I'm happy to hear feedback.

It's not a direct answer to your question, but a while back I ran across http://www.introtopython.org/ which in a beginners introduction to programming using Python as the first language. It has a github project[1] full of IPython notebooks used in the course. [1] https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming

This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04: First, add a ppa that has old and new versions of Python, and use that to install Python3.3: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python3.3 Now, install the correct versions of ipython, ipython-notebook, ipython3, and ipython3-notebook: sudo apt-get install ipython=0.13.2-1~ubuntu12.04.1 sudo apt-get install ipython-notebook=0.13.2-1~ubuntu12.04.1 sudo apt-get install ipython3=0.13.2-1~ubuntu12.04.1 sudo apt-get install ipython3-notebook Now, the command 'ipython notebook' should run your system's default version of Python. The command 'ipython3 notebook' should run Python3.3. I test the current version of Python with: print(3/2) If you're running Python 2, you'll see
