OOP Newb

2005-09-09 Thread MilkmanDan 
I've been learning python for a while. It's awesome.  My problem is
that I don't know anything about object oriented programming.  I can't
seem to find any tutorials either, everything kind of assumes a basic
knowledge of the subject.

I have managed to figure out a few things, like what a class and an
instance are, but I can't figure out how to use oop for anything.  Does
anyone know where I can find out how to write an object (or anything
else!) in python, or can anyone explain it to me?

Python taught in schools?

2006-06-25 Thread MilkmanDan 
I'll be a college freshman this fall, attending Florida Institute of
Tech studying electrical engineering.

I was considering taking some classes in programming and computer
science, and I happened to notice that everything taught is using C++.
After further research, it seems to me that C++ seems to be the
dominating language in universities.

By comparison, our local community college teaches a few classes in VB,
Java, Javascript, C++, and for some reason, PASCAL.

I'm certianly not against any of this, but out of curiousity does
anyone know of a school that teaches Python?
