CptS 580 Section 1 (Section 3 in TC)

Python
- Python quick references for Python 2.x versions. At ~30 pages these are even more compact than the O'Reilly Python Pocket Reference (also recommended) and are free to download.
- Python 3 quick reference by a different author than the one above.
- Python documentation site.Of particular note are the Tutorial, Library Reference, and Global Module Index. Surprisingly, the Language Reference is not too useful -- the Library reference has almost all of what I find that I need.
- Python download site.For Linux distributions it is probably better to install the python version from your distribution. Windows users should get the Windows installer version directly from this site. For working with MS Windows interfaces the pywin32 project has some useful stuff but you do not need pywin32 for this class.
- Dive Into Python 3
- A Byte of Python
- The official Python 3 tutorial
PostScript
- PostScript quick reference sheet 2 page crib sheet for you to print
- A First Guide to PostScript (University of Indiana)
- All about Ghostscript/Ghostview (University of Wisconsin). Includes links to GhostScript downloads.
- Links to PostScript references
- Adobe's PostScript Tutorial and Cookbook Recommended by a student last semester
- Adobe's PostScript reference manual
Racket, formerly known as DrScheme or PLT Scheme
Scheme
- Scheme Calesthenics, for you to print.
- Scheme Cheat Sheet, for you to print.
- Scheme Community resources
- MIT Scheme home page
- Scheme Reference Manual
- Scheme User Manual
- Scheme FAQ
Other Lisp: Emacs LISP
ML: Both Standard ML of NJ and Moscow ML are suitable for your use in exploring the ML language. SMLNJ is far larger and provides a more complete environment for doing real work, but MOSML is all that you really need for this class. The MS .NET language F# is an ML variant which you may find suitable for serious work with .NET using a functional language. There is a Visual Studio plugin as well.
- Standard ML of New Jersey
- Moscow ML
Perl
Java
- The Java Language Tutorial (from Sun - it's comprehensive)
- Cafe au Lait
Employment
