22FA_CAC180A-Programming

Please watch the video introducing you to the class. 

The course syllabus can be found here. It contains office hours, a tentative schedule, the grading scheme, and information on how to get help. 

For your convenience, the syllabus schedule is posted here. Reading assignments are included. I will also post the readings as assignments each week because you should be completing 50% of all of the tasks for each chapter. This is part of your participation grade. 

The textbook is an online text. It is extremely useful as you go through the course material.

Please take a few minutes to complete the linked survey. 

You are welcome to use any IDE you wish. I recommend repl.it (you'll need to make an account). You can also use Jupyter Notebooks or Eclipse. 

Please don't get frustrated! If you need help, you have options!
