Hi all
A friend asked me for the best book/video/course to learn Python.? My friend is already a Java and Perl programmer, so he doesn't need beginner material.? Transitional material would be best.
I've been doing some searching and thought I'd tap the TriPython list server for more recommendations.??
If you were a Java/JScript developer, what was your transition like?? What do you wish you'd had, or done, to make your transition quicker or easier?

For people new to python but not new to programming, I highly recommend A
Whirlwind Tour Of Python by Jake VanderPlas. Short, hits the essentials,
well-explained, and the ebook is free.

I have not read it cover to cover, but I once purchased Learning Python (
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-python-5th/9781449355722/)
for a family member who was already a developer. I looked through it
extensively and liked that it was more about learning the syntax and idioms
than teaching you to code, which is exactly what I was looking for.

I loaned my copy of *The Quick Python Book* to one of our seasoned
JavaScript developers here and he commented that it was perfect for what he
was looking for.  I've read it as well and use it as a reference from time
to time.  Here is the full citation

Ceder, Naomi R.., and Nicholas H.. Tollervey. The Quick Python Book.

Hope this helps,

Tomorrow is Chapel Hill Project Night at RENCI. The event will be hosted by Jim McManus as I am on vacation. As such, I'm not planning on bringing pizza or beverages and you should bring whatever you want to eat and drink.

I wondering if someone would like to be our speaker on Thursday, August 22 at WebAssign in Raleigh? If needed, we could reschedule to fifth Thursday, August 29 to accommodate a willing speaker. If you've been saying there's a talk you want to give but have been putting it off, now would be a good time to step up.

Just a reminder that tonight is Project Night in Durham. If you are a beginner just getting started, or have a project well underway you want to tinker with, all are welcome. The setting is informal and there is no set schedule, so folks are welcome to come at any point during the evening.  It's an informal time to code and  chat, with a brief break at about 7PM when we introduce ourselves and what we are working on. Hope to see you there!

Thanks, as always, to Caktus for providing the meeting space and pizza.

Details:
When: Monday, August 19, 6-9pm
Where: Caktus Group Tech Space, 108 Morris St., Durham
What: Join us for our monthly project night to tinker, discuss all things Python. If you don't have something specific you are working on, that's fine. If you just need help getting started with Python, bring your laptop and we will help. If you are a veteran programmer, come on by for code and pizza. It's an informal meetup where people work on projects, talk about programming, and give and receive tips on all things Python.

Message-ID: <8D59654B-A88F-4AAB-BC72-379D0D061496@unc.edu>

You may be wondering why there hasn't been an August meeting announcement yet. Or maybe not. In either case, the reason is no one has so far stepped up to be the speaker this month.

And you know what that means. Yes, you will have to suffer through another of my talks kept in my back pocket for just such occasions.

It just so happens that I have a presentation that was made by request for a select audience at RENCI a few months ago. We've seen a lot of presentations about Jupyter. But I'd never seen one about the Jupyter as an ecosystem of components and how they all relate together until I made one.

Now, this presentation, having been made a few months ago, is a tad out of date already and I also learned a few things I should change having given it once. So, I need a little time to whip it back into shape. As it just so happens, we are in a month with five Thursdays instead of four. Normally we meet on the fourth Thursday. However, I'd like to propose for at least this month that we meet on that last Thursday, which is August 29. I've checked with Steve and WebAssign is available to us on that evening.

As I just got back from several weeks of travel, I also need a little time to craft all the meeting announcements, which is another reason to delay a week. But I'll have that done this week. I'm just letting you know now for your personal planning purposes.

Plus, I'm always open to someone who speaks up at the last minute and wants to be the featured speaker this month. ?

 Overview
Message-ID: <650511A1-91F0-4330-BCE8-BDDDA9B2D094@unc.edu>

As promised,  meeting a week later than usual:

When: Thursday, August 29

Where: WebAssign, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200, Raleigh

What: Jupyter (https://jupyter.org/) is an overloaded name that refers to many technologies working together: servers, applications, APIs, kernels, extensions, protocols, file formats, and more. We will take a tour of the many components which comprise the Jupyter ecosystem of technologies, what they do, and how they fit together.

Your tour guide will be Chris Calloway (http://tripython.org/Members/cbc), a software engineer for the Renaissance Computing Institute (https://renci.org/) of the University of North Carolina (https://www.unc.edu/).

Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Plenty of free-after hours parking is available in the upper level of the deck behind WebAssign (turn through the median just before the intersection of Varsity and Main Campus Drives). If the door is locked, call the number posted on the door. An after-meeting location for food and beverage will be decided at the meeting (usually BaDa Wings at Mission Valley). Come join us for a fun and informative evening.

First, Chris, thank you for your work in holding together our Python community. I won't be there next Thursday, not because I'm not interested in the topic but because I have already bought plane tickets to visit my parents during that week.
 
Speaking of things I'm interested in, I've been spending my "free" time the past couple of months learning the [ Rust ]( https://www.rust-lang.org/ ) programming language. I would be happy to do a presentation at a future TriPython meeting on "why a Python lover would be interested in Rust" and on Rust-Python integration. But I can't give you a date yet because I've only completed chapter 19 out of 20 in [ the Rust book ]( https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ), and I haven't actually done any Rust-Python integration projects yet. :) But I intend to in the next few months, and would be happy to give an experience report.

But I can't give you a date yet because I've only completed chapter 19 out of 20 in [ the Rust book ]( https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ), and I haven't actually done any Rust-Python integration projects yet. :) But I intend to in the next few months, and would be happy to give an experience report.

Hi all,
I have an experienced developer friend who would like to learn some Python. He?s not interested in an online course, but rather something he can attend in the flesh. Any suggestions?

Thanks 
Philip

But since your friend is an experienced developer that might be too basic and not meet the need for "some Python" as opposed to beginning programming.

Perhaps he might benefit from one-on-one tutoring, which I offer. I'd be
glad to do a session with him at no charge. that way he could see if it
would make sense to do more. Please feel free to forward my offer to him. I
live just south of Hillsborough. Perhaps that would be convenient for him.

Subject: [TriPython] PSF Meetup Pro Network
Message-ID: <58465E9E-6764-4F57-9E9D-C81FAAECAB2A@unc.edu>

I have joined us to the Python Software Foundation's Meetup Pro Network:

https://www.meetup.com/pro/python-software-foundation-meetups

This means a few of things:


  1.  It connects our group to a larger network of PSF user groups, hopefully making us easier to find. The PSF requested we join this network.
  2.  The PSF will now be picking up our $200/yr tab for our meetup subscription. They have asked if they could do that before but I resisted telling them that I'd rather we give money to the PSF than take money. However, the PSF recently budgeted so much money for their Meetup Pro subscription that it felt silly not to take them up on the offer.
  3.  Our meetup subscription will never lapse like it did ten years ago when my credit card on file expired while I was on vacation and didn't see the notices (they only gave me two weeks to respond).
  4.  If anybody else were needed to take over managing out meetup.com presence, there would be no financial obstacle to doing so.

Last night I incorrectly asserted that the PyCarolinas conference next June was to be held at the NCSU Textile School.? The most probable PyCarolinas conference location will be the Red Hat annex.
I've been preparing a presentation for the Powershell Saturday conference (Sept 21st & 22nd) which will be held at the Textile School.? Sorry for any confusion.

There's one more option for making dashboards from Jupyter notebooks not mentioned on the last slide. I will point it out because it's a really good option: Bokeh server:
