Hi! Where can I find reading assignments for the the course. In the 2008 version there were like 10-15 things to read for each lecture.

Answer 2

In the 2011 version, there's much less emphasis on reading as they cover much of the information in the video lectures. If there's some supplementary reading they recommend you'll see it at the bottom of the page for that particular lecture. For instance, on this page:

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/unit-1/lecture-5-objects-in-python/

Towards the bottom of the page there's a "Further Study" section with readings.

By and large though, in 2011, you'll see most of the emphasis is on watching the lectures as opposed to dozens of reading assignments.
