[Year 12 SofDev] Python Version

[Laurie Savage]

I second Kent's recommendation. I've used Prof. Craven's
http://www.programarcadegames.com/ site with a couple of classes now, it
uses 3.x and it's one of the better courses around. Python 2.x and 3.x live
happily side-by-side on Windows or Linux but need a little bit of tweaking
on Mac. The site talks about how to do this.

I had a lot of fun, and my kids enjoyed making old-school text adventure
games. They will end up with a full Windowed GUI that uses classes and
objects.
