Pete Ryland, Tim Golden and myself are putting on an evening Python
event at the IET (Institute of Engineering Technology) at Savoy Place
on 5th July. Although the talk bit is not aimed at code-gods such as yourselves, that's not really the point ! Though we hope it'll be interesting even so. This is a networking event (free grub & booze) with more time spent socialising than being lectured to. If we can prove enough interest we can hope to get the use of the facilities for as many talks and lectures as we'd care to present. So an important part of this is for us to hear from you what you'd like (and if you're prepared to give a talk). http://www.theiet.org/ The event is not yet on the calendar (should go up this week), so here's the description: Event Description
IET Date & Time: 18:30 – 20:00 5th July 2007 Networking and Wine reception 20:00 - 22:00 Event: A light byte of Python Venue: The IET, Cost: Free Talk by: Michael Grazebrook, Tim Golden and Pete Ryland Python is a modern language. Easy enough for the engineer seeking to dabble in simple programming, but powerful enough to be used for serious development (I learned it working for banks). It is also free: open source. This is an event in
three parts. We will introduce Python for beginners, showing simple
pieces of
code which you can modify at home. We’d like to provide a series of
lectures,
if you prove there is enough demand, so help us debate what you want.
Finally
we’ll have some PCs available so you can try it out. We hope you’ll go
home
feeling confident enough to try it out. The talk will
consist of a handful of brief presentations of simple, working
programs, around
10 lines long, doing powerful things such as:
If you our public
show enough enthusiasm, we’d like to present a series of evening
workshops on
Python at the IET. So after the main talk we’ll have some debate about
what you
would like. The event is supported by the London Python Users Group,
who are
looking for somewhere a bit more practical than a pub to exchange
experience. If you bring a
lap-top, we will help you get the examples running after the talk –
even if you
have never used Python before. |
