Consolidate sets examples #31

Closed treyhunner closed 10 years ago

treyhunner commented 10 years ago

There's a great simple sets example in part 2 and I have sets in part 4 also.

I the example in part 2 better than the one in part 4. For how infrequently I use sets, mine is a little too in-depth I think (we go over intersection and such).

I think I should remove sets from part 4. I could replace the example with tuples or just leave it out and we could give more time for exercises.

What does everyone else think?

If Sets is well-covered in Danny's lecture, then remove it from Part 4 and replace it with a section on Tuples which would be good to teach. - Rise

+1 on sets.replace(tuples)

I don't quite catch the humor in the tuple example .... sorry but I don't see a lot of fun nor much entertainment there, It looks like I should I care about 2, 3 about stuff and about tuple... but its hard to make a connection with those guys... have I met them in real life ? :-) :-)

@alaindomissy The humor isn't all in the text. What is there are cues that I'll use, or others will use during the presentations. FWIW, No script ever survives the actual event, be it a class, presentation (even by Apple), sitcom, or movie. Especially as no script can cover all the details of tone, pitch, facial expression, or body posture.

If we write scripts and follow them too closely, especially the first time, we'll lose people.

@pydanny OK, thanks that makes more sense to me now. I guess I was reading this too much like a book and forgetting this is just the support for a presentation. Thanks.

Closing. Sets have been removed from Part 4 and replaced with tuples. :cookie:
