Python - Quick Guide
Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object oriented-scripting language. Python is InterpretedPython is InteractivePython is Object-OrientedPython is Beginner's Language Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in the late eighties and early nineties at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands. Python's feature highlights include: Easy-to-learnEasy-to-readEasy-to-maintainA broad standard libraryInteractive ModePortableExtendableDatabasesGUI ProgrammingScalable The most up-to-date and current source code, binaries, documentation, news, etc. is available at the official website of Python: Python Official Website : You can download the Python documentation from the following site.

s Python Class - Google's Python Class - Google Code Welcome to Google's Python Class -- this is a free class for people with a little bit of programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials, lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding. These materials are used within Google to introduce Python to people who have just a little programming experience. To get started, the Python sections are linked at the left -- Python Set Up to get Python installed on your machine, Python Introduction for an introduction to the language, and then Python Strings starts the coding material, leading to the first exercise. This material was created by Nick Parlante working in the engEDU group at Google. Tip: Check out the Python Google Code University Forum to ask and answer questions.

Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python In this interactive tutorial, we'll cover many essential Python idioms and techniques in depth, adding immediately useful tools to your belt.

My credentials: I am a resident of Montreal,father of two great kids, husband of one special woman,a full-time Python programmer,author of the Docutils project and reStructuredText,an editor of the Python Enhancement Proposals (or PEPs),an organizer of PyCon 2007, and chair of PyCon 2008,a member of the Python Software Foundation,a Director of the Foundation for the past year, and its Secretary. In the tutorial I presented at PyCon 2006 (called Text & Data Processing), I was surprised at the reaction to some techniques I used that I had thought were common knowledge. Many of you will have seen some of these techniques and idioms before. These are the guiding principles of Python, but are open to interpretation. import this

How to Configure Eclipse for Python Look in the Package Explorer view and you will see an icon of your new file inside the src folder, which Eclipse created when you made the new project before. The file should be opened in the open space in the center of the workspace-the Editor view. (If not, right click on the greeting.py icon and select Open.) You will see a tab with the name of your file. Free Online Classes - The Herbs Place Where Do I Begin with Natural Health Solutions? This series of classes teaches about the entire body, one system at a time. You'll learn a lot about how the body functions and what health problems are related to which body system. Intestinal System - The intestinal system is like a city's waste disposal plant. Respiratory System - Our respiratory system is essential to the growth and movement of the body. Glandular System - Not only is the glandular system one of the most important systems of the body, but it is also among the most complicated. Immune System - Every day your body is under siege, attempting to repel a continuous assault by disease and virulent organisms. Nervous System - Nerves are somewhat like "electrical wires' that allow almost instant communication to the far reaches of the body. Circulatory System - Like other vital parts of the amazing human machine, the circulatory system was designed to last 100 years or more, given proper care. Headaches - Causes and Relief

How to Install: Python Log into your user account. Click on Start → All Programs → Python 3.2 Right-click on IDLE (Python GUI) and choose Properties Set the Start in: location to C:\EclipseWorkspaces\csse120 Installing Pyserial and Pywin Run this to install Pyserial. The installation should automatically notice the Python32 folder created by installing python. Note: you may need to right-click and choose 'Run as Administrator' for this to work. Next, run this to install pywin32. Installing the Zelle Graphics Library Students enrolled in CSSE120 will be using the Zelle Graphics library extensively. Installing PyCreate for Robotics Students enrolled in CSSE120R (Robotics sections only) will also be using the PyCreate library and Bluetooth to transmit commands to the robots.

Python/Maya: Introductory tutorial This tutorial introduces the usage of the Python Maya package. It provides several "Hello World" scripts that already demonstrate the basics of using Python within Maya. The most simple (and boring) Hello World script one could ever image is the following: But at least you can use this script to test your Python plugin. So write a file helloworld1.py with the above contents and stick it into your Maya directory under maya/<version>/scripts. Now launch Maya, open the MEL Script Editor and enter: pySource helloworld1; (this assumes you have successfully installed (and loaded) the Maya Python plugin) To execute this line hit Ctrl+Enter or the Enter key on the numpad. The pySource command is equivalent to the MEL command source. py "print 'Hello World!'" As you already noticed the output from the print statement is directed to the Output Window. So far so good. Let's rewrite the above script from scratch and do a GUI version of the Hello World script: from maya import mel But back to the example.

A+ Certification The A+ certification demonstrates competency as a computer technician. CompTIA A+ certification is a vendor neutral certification. It requires two tests to be passed: the 220-801 exam and the 220-802 exam. CompTIA is vendor neutral but leans towards Microsoft operating systems, although some Apple and Android questions do appear on newer exams. Knowledge and supplies needed to prepare for the A+ Certification test[edit] A+ Certification is created by a non-profit organization called CompTIA. To obtain A+ Certification, one must have knowledge in many areas of Microsoft Windows, and the IBM style of personal computer. A student attempting the A+ Certification should have approximately 500 hours of work experience with operating systems, computer hardware, system files, maintenance, networking, configuration of hardware and software, and troubleshooting computer problems. Courses and other study materials can be found on the Internet. Exam details[edit] Identifying hardware components[edit]

Coordinated Universal Time Coordinated Universal Time (French: Temps Universel Coordonné, UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For most purposes, UTC is synonymous with GMT, but GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community. Background[edit] UTC was officially formalized in 1960 by the International Radio Consultative Committee in Recommendation 374, having been initiated by several national time laboratories. The current version of UTC is defined by International Telecommunications Union Recommendation (ITU-R TF.460-6), Standard-frequency and time-signal emissions and is based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the slowing of Earth's rotation. If high precision is not required, the general term Universal Time (UT) may be used. Uses[edit] UTC is used in many Internet and World Wide Web standards. Abbreviation[edit]
