Information for CTI 110
- Remember, you’ll want to build on your skills by taking more programming classes! CSC 134, CSC 121, CSC 151 are good next steps.
- Al Sweigart’s books are free online and a good place to keep working on Python. https://inventwithpython.com/ and I recommend this book specifically: https://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/
