We will discuss important concepts in programming as well as what is meant by a good programming style. By the end of the term, each student may program some simple video games using the concepts we have learned. The student should finish the class with the capability of writing well-formatted and functional Python programs. There will be time for programming labs during class, but the student is expected to work outside of class as well if they wish to progress.
