Session 0 was pretty successful. We decided together that we're going to study peer-to-peer, as a kind of anarcho-syndicalist commune with an instructor of the week. (See below for details) 

Session 1 will be April 27th. During that session, we will review and discuss chapters -1, 0, and 1 of "Dive Into Python3" by Mark Pilgrim. 

If you'd like to join the study group on Monday, please read those chapters, do the exercises to the best of your ability, and upload your solutions to github. 

If you don't get github, skip that part, and we'll help you up to speed on Monday. 

ARTHUR: Then who is your lord? 
WOMAN: We don't have a lord. 
ARTHUR: What? 
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take 
it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. 
ARTHUR: Yes. 
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified 
at a special biweekly meeting. 
ARTHUR: Yes, I see. 
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,-- 
ARTHUR: Be quiet! 
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more-- 
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet! 
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is? 
ARTHUR: I am your king! 
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you. 
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
