== Python for Non-Programmers ==


If you've never programmed before, the tutorials on this page are
recommended for you; they don't assume that you have previous
experience.


If you have previous programming experience,
the list of programmer-oriented tutorials on the ["BeginnersGuide/Programmers"] page
may get you started more quickly, but the tutorials on this page
may still be helpful.



  * [http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/ Learning to Program]
  An introduction to programming for those
  who have never programmed before, by Alan Gauld. It introduces
  several programming languages but has a strong emphasis on Python.

  * [http://www.byteofpython.info/ A Byte of Python], by Swaroop C.H., is also an introductory text
  for people with no previous programming experience.


  * [http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/index.html One Day of IDLE Toying]

  A very gentle introduction to
  the IDLE development environment that comes with Python.
  This tutorial by Danny Yoo has been translated into nine different languages.

  * [http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ How to Think Like a Computer Scientist]

  Allen Downey's open source textbook has a
  Python version, written with Jeff Elkner. It's also available in book form.

  * [http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php Instant Hacking]

  A minimal crash course by Magnus Lie Hetland
  that's an excellent starting point.

  * Free Python video lectures are also available as a course titled ["Intro to programming with Python and Tkinter"], Unix users can view the video using mplayer once you have downloaded the files. Windows users will need to have a DivX player, available from http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/. (One user reports success viewing the videos on OS X 10.4 using the VLC player -- http://www.videolan.org/)

  * [http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/ A Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python] by Josh Cogliati.

  * [http://www.pentangle.net/python/handbook/ Handbook of the Physics Computing Course]

  Also available in various forms at the
  author's [http://www.pentangle.net/python/ Python in Education] page, this is a
  preliminary course handbook for 1st-year university students with no
  computing experience. This course material is still preliminary and
  assumes some high school-level maths. It does
  not cover object-oriented programming or graphical applications.

  * [http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2002/10/17/biopython.html Beginning Python for Bioinformatics] by Patrick O'Brien. An
  introduction to Python aimed at biologists that introduces the PyCrust
  shell and Python's basic data types.

  * Two courses from the Pasteur Institute are aimed at biologists but
  are useful to anyone wanting to learn Python. Both tutorials are
  quite extensive, covering data types, object-oriented programming,
  files, and even design patterns.

    * [http://www.pasteur.fr/formation/infobio/python/ Introduction to Programming using Python] is for people completely new to programming.

    * [http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/sis/formation/python/ Bioinformatics course in Python]
  focuses on preparing people with some programming background for using the
  [http://www.biopython.org Biopython] modules.

  * [http://docs.python.org/tut/ Python Tutorial]

  This tutorial is part of
  Python's documentation set and is updated with each new release. It's
  not written with non-programmers in mind, but skimming through it will
  give you an idea of the language's flavor and style.



== For Younger Students ==


    * [http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/ LiveWires]

    A set of Python lessons used during 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002
    children's summer camps in Britain by Richard Crook, Gareth McCaughan,
    Mark White, and Rhodri James. Aimed at children 12-15 years old.

    * [http://gvr.sourceforge.net Guido van Robot]

    A teaching tool in which students write simple programs using
    a Python-like language to control a simulated robot.
    Field-tested at Yorktown High School, the project includes a lesson plan.
