Comp 150 - Introduction To Computing

Note, this page is not yet revised for Fall 2006. The biggest changes coming are a full suite of web tutorials and other documentation for Python designed especially for the course, so Zelle's Python book is now recommended, not required. The Analytical Engine book continues to be required.
