Monday, September 8
Tutorials have been assigned. Recitations haven't yet. You should have received your section number by e-mail. Times and places are on the Tutorials page.
If you didn't fill out a tutorial sheet, just go to a section that you can make it to, and ask the TA when you get there.
Friday, September 5
The notes from the mega-recitation Python for Schemers are up.
Wednesday, September 3
Mega-recitations
We were unclear about the time of mega-recitations. Mega-recitations occur on Fridays at 11 AM, the same time slot that is occupied by lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The first mega-recitation, on Friday, September 5, will teach "Python for Schemers".
Times and places of recitations and tutorials
If you have not yet filled out recitation and tutorial scheduling forms, please pick up spare copies and leave them at 32-251 as soon as possible. You will learn which tutorial and recitation you are in by email.
Python
In the fall of 2008, the official language of 6.034 will be Python for a variety of reasons having little to do with the strengths and weaknesses of the language. Relative to past years, homework will ramp up somewhat more gently to give Scheme speakers an opportunity to adapt. We expect a weekend with any of the many Python books would be adequate preparation. See, for example, the Amazon list.
Alternatively, you can follow one of the suggestions of Rob Speer, head 6.034 TA:
- Dive into Python is a well-recommended book that is available online. It's written for experienced programmers who just don't know Python yet. It's meant to quickly take what you already know about other languages and explain how Python does them.
- At the other end of the spectrum, the text that was used in 6.00 has been expanded into one called Think Python. It's online. It is targeted at people who have not programmed much or at all.
- In the middle is the O'Reilly book Learning Python. MIT has a subscription to O'Reilly, so anyone with an MIT IP address can read the book online.
