Join us for "Scientific Computing with Python Webinar"

[Travis Oliphant]

Hello all Python users:

I am pleased to announce the beginning of a free Webinar series that  
discusses using Python for scientific computing.   Enthought will host  
this free series  which will take place once a month for 30-45 minutes.   
The schedule and length may change based on participation feedback, but 
for now it is scheduled for the fourth Friday of every month.     This 
free webinar should not be confused with the EPD webinar on the first 
Friday of each month which is open only to subscribers to the Enthought 
Python Distribution.

I (Travis Oliphant) will be the first speaker at this continuing series.  
I plan to present a brief (10-15) minute talk on reading binary files 
with NumPy using memory mapped arrays and structured data-types.  This 
talk will be followed by a demonstration of Chaco for interactive 2-d 
visualization and Mayavi for interactive 3-d visualization.   Both Chaco 
and Mayavi are open-source tools and part of the Enthought Tool Suite.  
They can be conveniently installed using the Enthought Python 
Distribution.   Topics for future webinars will be chosen later based on 
participant feedback.

This event will take place on Friday at 3:00pm CDT and will last 30 to  
45 minutes depending on questions asked.   Space is limited at this  
event.   If you would like to participate, please register by going to 
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/422340144 or by clicking on the 
appropriate link in the attached announcement.

There will be a 10 minute technical help session prior to the on-line  
meeting which you should plan to use if you have never participated in a 
GoToWebinar previously.  During this time you can test your connection 
and audio equipment as well as familiarize yourself with the GoTo Meeting 
software.

I am looking forward to interacting with many of you this Friday.

Best regards,

Travis Oliphant
