00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,045
There's lots of minutiae to master when you just get started programming,

2
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:14,805
and it can be kind of tedious, and not so rewarding.

3
00:00:14,805 --> 00:00:18,340
In today's lesson, we're going to give you a chance to be creative.

4
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:19,925
Do something a little fun.

5
00:00:19,925 --> 00:00:26,500
You're going to write programs that will instruct an on-screen turtle to draw a picture,

6
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:32,960
and I have with me some bobble-head turtles handcrafted in Mexico,

7
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:35,565
to give us a little inspiration.

8
00:00:35,565 --> 00:00:40,665
Now, A live class is sometimes isn't as prizes for especially good pictures.

9
00:00:40,665 --> 00:00:43,450
So, you're going to be writing programs that will

10
00:00:43,450 --> 00:00:46,700
instruct your on-screen turtle to draw a picture.

11
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:49,360
But, there's also a hidden agenda in today's lesson,

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,625
which is to introduce some Python capabilities,

13
00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:56,405
particular object notation, methods that act on objects,

14
00:00:56,405 --> 00:00:59,785
and how to repeat a set of commands many times.

15
00:00:59,785 --> 00:01:01,765
At the end of this lesson,

16
00:01:01,765 --> 00:01:05,935
you should be able to write a multi-line program or program with many lines of code.

17
00:01:05,935 --> 00:01:10,625
You should be able to distinguish between instances, attributes, and methods.

18
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:15,470
You should be able to invoke methods and set attributes using the Dot Notation,

19
00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:17,345
and you should be able to use a loop,

20
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:20,585
a for loop to execute commands repeatedly.

21
00:01:20,585 --> 00:01:25,320
Stick around at the end for a turtle joke. See you at the end.
