2.  another UC Santa Cruz Extension Python course in Silicon
    Valley, Spring quarter 2000:  speaking of teaching/learning
    Python...

    for those of you interested Python training and are able
    to make it to Northern California, due to the popularity
    of its first Python course, UC Santa Cruz has decided to
    offer this course again in Silicon Valley, so if you know
    anyone who wishes to get up-to-speed quickly on Python or
    those self-taught who perhaps would like to fill-in any
    missing gaps, this would be a good opportunity.

    the maximum enrollment is set at 50, and their rate ($400)
    is pretty reasonable, being a public institution and all.
    (shameless plug:  i am also available to contract for
    corporate training services too if there too many people
    from your company or if you're too far away!)
