Drawing with Python
This class is the first in a series intended to teach you the essential basics of programming using Python and how to apply these basics to make things. The course can be taken a-la-carte based on the topic or can be attended regularly to become a well rounded python coder. I will cover all aspects of python language over the series.

<LI>Basic programming concepts such as variables, math operations</LI>
<LI>data structures, and procedural loops</LI>
<LI>Programming style and etiquette</LI>
<LI>Learn Draft an image based on a simple set of mathematical rules</LI>
</UL>
The first installment will show you how to use python’s implementation of turtle to generate geometric designs that can be laser engraved onto wood or other objects.
