Morning

Review of Coding Tools (including [#Good Text Editors])

Writing code in an editor (Using the Command line in combination with a Text Editor to develop python code)

Review of Think Python:

• Chapter 3 (in particular we worked through exercise 3.3 quite closely)
• Chapter 4 Turtle Graphics (reviewing the concept of a "state" diagram)

Afternoon

a story and a map

In-class Pair programming exercise "Leaf > Branch > Tree > Forest".

Good Text Editors

Linux

• kate (with syntax (color) support for many languages, including Python)
• emacs and vi of course (for old-skool cred ;)

OS X

• Smultron (open source and solid)
• TextMate (full-featured shareware)
• WriteRoom (minimal editor inappropriate for working on code but great for meeting writing deadlines)
