Last year Chapter Four of IronPython in Action was covered over two weeks (the lab is also a two-part exercise), and I felt that worked fairly well, so kept the same plan for this year, although the exact parts that were covered each week changed. As usual, the students received notes [PDF], and a lab [...]

D520 Week Two – 2010

One of the concepts [...]

I gave the students a set of revision exercises [PDF] (and example answers [zip]), a course outline [PDF], and some brief notes [PDF]. The notes have four sections (this pattern will continue): which chapters of the textbook are covered this week [...]

Choosing an IronPython editor for teaching
The Northtec D520 “Programming” course is changing to IronPython (from Visual Basic) this year, so I have to figure out what editor/IDE the students should use. In some ways, Visual Studio would be ideal, since they need to get exposed to that during the course (and it’s an excellent IDE, with a really great form [...]
