There are no books to buy for this course. The two reference books that we suggest using are available for free online through the UW library system.
Head over to our resources page for links to the book and lots of links to other scripting resources.
Also check out the page for the other 2010 Summer CS 368 section — in Python!
Wednesdays, 10–11 a.m., CS 4265 (my office)
You can also make an appointment (by email is probably best) to talk to me. I work full time here in the CS building, so will often be available. However, dropping by my office without an appointment is not guaranteed to work.
I plan to post slides and homework assignments on their appointed days.
