Let me know if you plan to come along so I can adjust table numbers! Sorry for the very short notice in posting this to the mailing list.

Maybe anything such as a college night course or something. I have been looking online for a while but to no avail.

Twig are hosting again and will be providing pizza and beer, previous attendees should note that Twig has moved to the building next door, so the new address is: 4th Floor 14 North Claremont Street G3 7LE Glasgow Twig are growing their development team again and are currently hiring for more server-side and client-side developers as well as DevOps and a bit of a generalising specialist. Server-side: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/b51835d7ff6cefb5d7fa Client-side: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/5048340 DevOps: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/fee751df115d62ff9e65 Generalising Specialist: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/67e9c9f130fb95238ec4 If you're interested in any of the positions email abassett at twig-world.com For those of you that don't know, a dojo is a fun coding event where we split into teams and hack on a problem for about 90 minutes. The focus is on getting something working and making progress rather than on code quality, so feel free to take on the problem any way you wish! Then at the end we will share what we found. It's great fun and good for learning too. All levels of Python are welcome as you can contribute to your team with ideas and discussion. Last time we worked on the problem of converting JSON to a usable CSV, this seemed simple on the face of it but we had a number of interesting problems. The teams brave enough to submit the code can be seen on our Github. https://github.com/python-glasgow/dojo-json2csv We will be following the format of the London Python Dojo - to read more about what to expect look here: http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo The dojo's are usually really well attended so make sure to get your ticket now at: http://pythonglasgow-dojo-03-2014.eventbrite.co.uk/ See you all there!

That's the only one I know of. I think most of us are self taught, so a question about learning materials may get more answers.
