From: Bill Sconce Subject: [Python-talk] PySIG next Thursday (26 Oct 2006) - Lambda expressions! meld! SciTE! Subversion! Cookies! Date: Thursday, October 19, 2006 11:50:26 PySIG -- New Hampshire Python Special Interest Group Amoskeag Business Incubator, Manchester, NH 26 October 2006 (4th Thursday) 7:00PM Python Development Tools -- meld, SciTE, Subversion Lambda expressions The monthly meeting of PySIG, the New Hampshire Python Special Interest Group, happens on the fourth Thursday of the month, starting at 7:00 PM. Beginners' session starts at 6:30 PM. Bring a Python question! At this meeting we'll begin the often-requested "Python development series", with the specific topics of source-code differencing (using meld - an excellent development tool in its own right, written in Python!), how to integrate tools such as meld into the SciTE editor. In other words, one way to start complementing and moving beyond the interactive Python window. Time permitting, we'll demonstrate similar integration of revision control: Subversion checkins and Subversion diffs. Presented by Bill Sconce (recovering Eclipse user). Kent's Korner (Module of the Month) will be lambda expressions, hosted this month by Mr. Python, Lloyd Kvam of Venix Corp. And also our usual roundtable of introductions, happenings, and announcements. And of course, milk & cookies... 7:00 Welcome, Announcements - Ted Roche 7:10 Milk & Cookies - Lloyd, Janet 7:15 Kent's Korner (Module of the Month) -- lambda expressions - Lloyd 7:45 Meld/Scite/Subversion - Bill 9:00 Adjourn About PySIG: PySIG meetings are typically 10-20 people, around a large table equipped with a projector, power, and Internet hookup (wired and wireless). We encourage laptops and hands-on; seminar style. The main meeting starts at 7 PM and we finish around 9 PM. Everyone is welcome. Tell your friends! Beginners' session: This month (October 2006) we try a suggestion from last meeting: The half hour before the formal meeting (i.e., starting at 6:30PM) we have a beginners' session. Any Python question is welcome -- whoever asks the first question gets the half hour! Questions are equally welcome by mail beforehand (in which case we can announce them) or at the meeting. As are all Python questions, at all times. About Python: "Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code." "NASA uses Python...so does Rackspace, Industrial Light&Magic, AstraZeneca, Honeywell, and many others." "Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves." - Peter Norvig http://www.python.org About Amoskeag Business Incubator: Our gracious hosts are the Amoskeag Business Incubator, an organization providing a supportive entrepreneurial environment that stimulates the growth of businesses to ensure economic vitality and encourage job creation, by providing affordable office space and technical assistance to early stage companies.
