Mega-recitations
Mega-recitations occur on Fridays at 10 AM in 10-250, the same place and time slot that is occupied by lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Python
The official language of 6.034 is Python for a variety of reasons having little to do with the strengths and weaknesses of the language. We expect a focused 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 in 2008:
- 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.
