During my period as PhD student at University of California, Irvine, me and some friends observed some struggles with a share of grad students on programming. Depending on their backgrounds, the exposure to learning and applying languages were limited.
Although useful, a fair level of proficiency may not be required to get around the undergraduate courses. However, in graduate courses it is required that students have some familiary with programming languages.
Fortunately, there are a plethora of resources in the internet to learn programming in different approaches, levels, and focus. Our aim was not to add another alternative to these courses - as we ourselves (at least not me :-)), are not programming experts either. Rather, we addressed on common gap across students: lack of good code examples in Python for common Transportation applications.
I will not comment further in this post; intead, you can find a link to the small reposities we put together. Suggestions and contributions are welcome. Unfortunately, we have not update it in a while.
