Where: Martha's Exchange Day: Thur 17 Jan **Next Week** Time: 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for discussion (usually upstairs) :: Overview - Why learn another language? Â As you will hear from Kent, Python is an investment that can pay off well and quickly for you. - Kent Johnson explains the philosophy behind Python and points out its advantages over more familiar languages like C/C++. Â You will get a top-down view of the convenience tools/features built in as well as some code snippets to demonstrate the ease of programming. - If you have been considering Python (or just want to be better informed) this is a great opportunity to get an overview and have your questions answered. A preview of the talk is available here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/stories/00020.html Kent has been learning and using Python for over five years and evangelizing it for almost as long. He is moderator of - and prolific contributor to - the python-tutor mailing list, and lead developer for http://blogcosm.com which is built with Python and Django. - RSVP to Jim Kuzdrall for dinner to assure adequate seating. <<< - If you are not a "Regular Attendee" (50%), please let me know. !!!
