If you are on our mailing list, you have received a message with this content. Otherwise, read on.

There are no 6.034 tutorials this coming week. Tutorials will start on September 19 and September 20. You will hear from your assigned TA about your tutorial time and place during the next few days.

Ordinary recitations will start this coming week, September 15 and September 16. You should attend the recitation assigned by the registrar.

If you are a special student, from Harvard, or in some other special category, send a message to Peter Brin (pebrin at mit dot edu) asking him to put you on our mailing list. If you are a MIT student, you will get on our list automatically the day you add the subject.

Non urgent news, such as quiz results, will appear only on this home page so as not to clutter up your email.

What if I haven't registered yet and do not have a recitation assignment?

We may add recitation sections, so the registrar's assignments may or may not be used. Stay tuned.

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.
