+Very basic introduction to programming class meant for those who've
+never programed before in their lives. Our external P2PU site is
+[here](http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/python-101-with-pygame/). Please
+make sure to add yourself to the mailing list
+[here](https://groups.google.com/a/hacdc.org/group/prog101).
+
+## Pre class HW
+
+For the class we will be using python and pygame. Instructions on how to
+install them on your operating system of choice can be found below.
+
+- [Installing Python and
+  Pygame](Installing_Python_and_Pygame "wikilink")
+
+**Git and Github**
+
+We would like those taking the class to keep a source repository to
+store workshop and homework code so that: 1. they can modify without
+fear of messing it up beyond repair 2. they can share code and, thus,
+assist each other
+
+To that end, we have some resources below to get git installed, open a
+github account, and the main git commands you will need to get started.
+
+[Setting up git on Windows](http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/)
+[Setting up git on OS X](http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/)
+[Setting up git on Linux](http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git/) (you
+may choose to use your package manager (apt, yum, pacman, etc.) to
+install the git-core package)
+
+If you can go through this before the class 0, great! you will have more
+time to write some code during the workshop. Otherwise, we will be
+available to assist anyone who may need help getting things started.
+
+You can get the presentation slides, code, and other material from this
+wiki OR live from the [class
+repository](https://github.com/3lawsafe/HacDC-Intro-to-Programming)
+
+## Class 0
+
+**Covers**: Some history. IDLE and Python. Primitive data types.
+Statements and expressions. Hello World! Turtle Graphics **Slides**:
+![<File:Class_0.pdf>](Class_0.pdf "File:Class_0.pdf") **Workshop**: Get
+things working! **Demo code**:
+![<File:Turtle_demo.py>](Turtle_demo.py "File:Turtle_demo.py")
+![<File:Wrapper_turtle.py>](Wrapper_turtle.py "File:Wrapper_turtle.py")
+**Homework**: Draw a pretty picture using the turtle graphics.
+
+## Class 1
+
+**Covers**: Program control. If statements. For loops. While loops.
+Pygame drawing. **Slides**:
+![<File:Class_1.pdf>](Class_1.pdf "File:Class_1.pdf") **Workshop**:
+Pygame picture time! **Demo code**:
+![<File:pygame_pretty_picture.py>](pygame_pretty_picture.py "File:pygame_pretty_picture.py")
+![<File:pong_paddle_hit.py>](pong_paddle_hit.py "File:pong_paddle_hit.py")
+**Homework**: Make an animation using your new looping and pygame
+drawing skills. Sign up for the email list, and introduce your self.
+Include a link to your GitHub repository.
+
+## Class 2
+
+**Covers**: Functions. Common data structures. Pygame events.
+**Slides**: ![<File:Class_2.pdf>](Class_2.pdf "File:Class_2.pdf")
+**Workshop**: Pong code with functions! Quick event demo. **Demo code**:
+Check the repo! **Homework**: Email list, do it! Share your repo and
+code! Make that animation you had interactive using the new event or I/O
+stuff. Try and make your previous code use functions.
+
+## Class 3
+
+**Covers**: Classes. Modules and Packages. **Slides**:
+![<File:Class_3.pdf>](Class_3.pdf "File:Class_3.pdf") **Workshop**:
+Sprite demo! Pong with classes! (And probably prettier than the original
+one) **Demo code**: Check the repo! **Homework**: Package some of your
+existing code into a module. Try making a few objects for your
+interactive animation. Extend the sprite so there's more than one sprite
+on screen and they're keyboard controlled.
+
+## Class 4
+
+**Covers**: Some stuff from the standard library. Pyserial too!
+**Slides**: ![<File:Class_4.pdf>](Class_4.pdf "File:Class_4.pdf")
+**Workshop**: A bunch of little programs! **Demo code**: Check the repo!
+**Homework**: Use at least one of the libraries presented in class in
+your own code. Two different datasets are being provided, try and
+visualize the data using pygame.
+
+## Class 5
+
+**Covers**: Tidbits we didn't cover during the other classes. Exceptions
+handling. List/dict comprehensions. Lambdas, filters, maps and reduce.
+**Slides**: ![<File:Class_5.pdf>](Class_5.pdf "File:Class_5.pdf")
+**Workshop**: Some packaging stuff! **Demo Code**: Check the repo!
+**Homework**: Keep coding and showing up to HacDC!
