Howdy! I'm James Allen, the new Python Instructor at the Durham campus of The Iron Yard. I've been teaching and using Python for 7 years, though this is my first cohort with TIY.
Over the next 12 weeks we're going to cover a lot of material, seeing a lot of different ways in which Python is used, and working on a lot of different projects to build out your portfolios. I'm really excited to see what you all come up with.
Inspired by TIY's own David Rogers, we're going to try submitting assignments using the GitHub issues tracker. This will let you quickly measure your progress at a glance, and streamline feedback from me. More details in assignment 00!
