Python Modules (Holyoke Codes)

NOTE: Replit workspaces are defunct. I will migrate the material from those lessons into new repls at some point.

Welcome to the course page for the Python classes I teach for Holyoke Codes: Python I, II, and III, Python for Data, and Python camps. You’ll find links to lessons and other resources here.

Note: Python Camp typically covers material from Python I and II.

This page is under construction. Python I materials are complete, but others are not.

Out of Sequence

These exercises are not part of the Python class sequence, but are good for extra practice. Noted in parentheses after the name and link are the main concepts addressed in the project.

Resources

There are a number of links to Python learning tools, reference guides, and more on my programming resources page. I especially recommend w3schools for code reference and (interactive!) examples, as well as tutorials.
