Batting order for PyCAR16

[tommeagher]

Now that we've settled on the code and agenda for the day, we need to agree on who will teach which section. I'd like to do the early introductions of the day, but I'm flexible to pick up whatever project or section that isn't filled by one of you.

• Introduction (@tommeagher)
• The Basics (@tommeagher) - Starting with this slide, we'll introduce some key Python types like the interactive interpreter, strings, integers, lists, slicing and loops.
• Project How can we make this better? #1 (@richardsalex) - After a white board exercise, we'll start with a file of pseudocode, and we'll walk through writing the program in Python code, running the file at the command line.
• A discussion on debugging (@zufanka)
• Project Update the README, contributors and take materials #2 (@zufanka) - We have a CSV of baseball player salaries. Let's figure out who makes the most money and examine some other biographical information about them, using dictionaries.
• Project Refactor project 1 (only as needed) #3 (@scott2b) - Scraping from html and ingesting JSON from an API

So, @richardsalex, @zufanka, @scott2b, which section of the day would you like to teach? If you each pick one project (or the basics), we should be set. The rest of the day, you'd be helping teach and coaching students, along with @cathydeng, who I believe is going to help coach in the morning.

I'll handle Project 1. Thanks, @tommeagher!

[zufanka]

@tommeagher I'll take the project after debugging, so project 2!

I believe that means I'm doing no. 3. Is that right?

[tommeagher]

@scott2b, if you want to do Project 3, that'd be cool. Or if you want to do half of it (either the html or the json piece), I can do the other half.

I'll also do the basics along with the intro then.

[scott2b]

I'm happy to do whatever. I can cover it, or if you want to jump on any part, that's cool. Maybe you would want to endcap since you are starting us off in the morning. But whatever you think will work.

[tommeagher]

Scott, if you're game to do the whole project, that's great. I'll be around all day to coach and add 2 cents, so they'll hear enough of my voice This works for me.

👍

[tommeagher]

Awesome. I've updated the lineup above accordingly.
Over the next few days, please take a look at the code and comments for your project and be sure you know what's happening in it. If you have questions or need a hand, please email me or file a ticket (or a pull request) here.
Otherwise, I'll close this issue and look forward to seeing each of you on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. in Mattie Silks (if not before). Safe travels, all!

Thanks, Tom! Look forward to seeing everyone in Denver.
