There's lots of minutiae to master when you just get started programming,
and it can be kind of tedious, and not so rewarding.
In today's lesson, we're going to give you a chance to be creative.
Do something a little fun.
You're going to write programs that will instruct an on-screen turtle to draw a picture,
and I have with me some bobble-head turtles handcrafted in Mexico,
to give us a little inspiration.
Now, A live class is sometimes isn't as prizes for especially good pictures.
So, you're going to be writing programs that will
instruct your on-screen turtle to draw a picture.
But, there's also a hidden agenda in today's lesson,
which is to introduce some Python capabilities,
particular object notation, methods that act on objects,
and how to repeat a set of commands many times.
At the end of this lesson,
you should be able to write a multi-line program or program with many lines of code.
You should be able to distinguish between instances, attributes, and methods.
You should be able to invoke methods and set attributes using the Dot Notation,
and you should be able to use a loop,
a for loop to execute commands repeatedly.
Stick around at the end for a turtle joke. See you at the end.
