+====== Programming for Nubs (Python) ======
+  * May 12th @ 8-10 PM
+  * May 19th @ 8-10 PM
+===== Overview =====
+If you can already program, move along...
+We'll cover programming concepts in general, using Python for an example. We will not get in depth with Python or computer science. The goal of this two-day class is to introduce you to programming, not make you a programmer. Consider it pre-school for computer science.
+This wonderful two-day class will be tough by [[members:chris|CHRIS the magnificent]] and [[members:nmi|NMI the almost but not quite as cool as]].
+===== Requirements =====
+Please sign up on the bottom of the page to let us know you intend to attend this class. A wiki account is required. Please sign up for one if necessary.
+There are no requirements for attendance however non-members are encouraged [[http://032.la/membership-info/|become a member]]! If that is beyond your reach, we ask (but do not require) that you to donate a few dollars to the beverage fund or to another group at NSL.
+Please bring the following items to the class.
+  * A computer
+  * Python 2.7 pre-installed
+  * A morelia viridis (optional)
+  * An IDE that supports Python or a text editor with syntax highlighting
+    * PC: [[http://ninja-ide.org/|Ninja-IDE]], [[http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/|Eric]], [[https://pytools.codeplex.com/|PyTools for Visual Studio]], [[http://notepad-plus-plus.org/|Notepad++]]
+    * Mac:
+    * Linux:
+  * Book: [[http://inventwithpython.com/hacking/chapters/|Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python]]: A beginner's guide to cryptography and computer programming with Python
+===== Syllabus =====
+==== Day 1 ====
+Day one will primarily be lecture and discussion of several key concepts and how they relate to each other. We will cover examples of everything in Python.
+  * Basics of programming
+  * "Types" of Programmers
+    * "Scripters"
+    * "Coders"
+    * Software Engineers
+  * What be:
+    * Statements
+    * Variables
+    * Objects
+    * Algorithms
+    * Data Structures
+  * "Types" of Programming
+    * Imperative Programming
+    * Object-Oriented Programming
+    * Functional Programming
+  * Stuff to know about
+    * Compilers
+    * Linkers
+    * Libraries
+    * Bytecode
+Homework:
+  * Book chapters 1-5
+==== Day 2 ====
+Attendees should be familiar with the concepts discussed in day 1. We will collectively dissect working scripts, as well as work on creating a few basic ones to allow individuals to start getting hands-on and turn concepts into reality.
+==== Day 3 ====
+There is no day 3! However the related class [[classes:your_code_sucks|Why Your Code Sucks and What You Can Do About It]] will be held 2-3 weeks after day 2. Anyone attending Programming for Nubs should work to improve their skills during the interim.
