Google's Python Class - Educational Materials

Google's Python Class - Educational Materials
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. The first exercises work on basic Python concepts like strings and lists, building up to the later exercises which are full programs dealing with text files, processes, and http connections. The class is geared for people who have a little bit of programming experience in some language, enough to know what a "variable" or "if statement" is. Beyond that, you do not need to be an expert programmer to use this material. 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.

Tutorial to set up PCSX2, the best emulator for PS2 The end of the previous generation of console games and the start of the current one has been heralded by loads of remakes of games less than a decade or so old, the so-called HD re-edits. Nevertheless, there is an economic alternative to such silliness (at least in most cases): the now-ancient PlayStation 2 continues to this day to be a source of titles to revisit, and an emulator like the program PCSX2 can give a layer of allure that lets you go back and enjoy them, complete with perked-up graphics. Here is a short tutorial to configure it. BIOS and gamepad setup Once you’ve installed the emulator you’ll get a wizard that lets you select the default plugins and the language for the interface.
