Sorry, I noticed the schedule clash after announcing the bootcamp. > Why do you not speak at the LUG meet Well, mostly due to my hectic weekend schedule for a long time. I will plan my schedule in the coming months to speak at LUG meets :-) I believe LUG meets are for talks, discussions and peer-to-peer knowledge gathering - NOT for intensive training/workshops/bootcamps. Any session that demands attention-span of more than 2 hours should be off the LUG meet agenda in my opinion. >- 8 hours is anyway way too much to introduce python. A good programmer needs to introduction to Python. A newbie programmer would need not more than 1 hour of Python induction (and he can self learn and explore on himself). But for someone from a non-programming background, my experience states that even 8 hour session could be too less and unjustified in getting them to become fully productive and competent with Python. (FYI, I have conducted 80 hour sessions in Python to a couple of companies - but thats a different thing altogether).
