Python Ahoy!

in python •  7 years ago  (edited)

In about a month, my Intro to CS class I am teaching will graduate from Snap! to Python. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Python is not one of the many languages which with I've dabbled. So I have a month to learn the basics of Python. A number of my followers are programmers, so I want to put a call out for any guides, references or tools I should be using. I've already started using @robertlyon excellent getting started with Python posts, but I was wondering what else I should know.

I'm also curious if there is a preferred online IDE. I'm looking for something that will compile/run Python, save work and allow students to turn in their work either from within the tool or by sharing a link. Thanks in advance for any help.

Glad to see you are getting some use out of my tutorials. I began using Python with this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Python-Programming-Third-Edition/dp/1435455002. although it was my first introduction to programming in general so it is probably a little basic for someone that already knows what they are talking about.

As for online IDE, you could try https://repl.it it's the only online IDE I have really used for Python
