Overview
Welcome to the course webpage for the Winter 2008 term of CSC108H/A08H, an Introduction to Computer Programming. This course teaches the basics of programming in Python, which is an industrial-strength programming language used at companies like Google and Industrial Light and Magic.
The course is delivered through 3 lecture hours a week plus ten 2-hour closed labs in weeks 2 through 12.
Outside of class and lab, in weeks 2 through 12, you will also complete a set of online exercises in CodeLab, and do 4 assignments, 4 tests, a project, and a final exam.
Important Notice
I will be away the first week of classes. Jennifer Campbell, who taught CSC108 last term, will be teaching the first week of lectures. She will be able to answer nearly all of your questions, but if you want to contact me directly, I will be back on Jan 12. Unfortunately, I will not have email access while I am away.
