Hilpisch* - *Cost: EUR275, Registration required:** http://www.meetup.com/Python-for-Quant-Finance-London/events/202981002/ <http://www.meetup.com/Python-for-Quant-Finance-London/events/202981002/>* Mike will be running a 2-day advanced workshop on the lead up to PyCon Ireland on *Thu 10th - Fri 11th Oct*. - *Advanced Python Workshop* by *Mike Müller / Python Academy* - *Cost: EUR*715, Registration required: *http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_advanced_pyconie.html <http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_advanced_pyconie.html>* And you can meet both trainers at PyCon Ireland as well. :-D So please pass word around to other Pythonistas, Data, Quants, etc. If you are a student, and are interested in the workshop, I can put you in contact with the trainer to see if there's a student discount. Just ping me at [email protected].
