[Baypiggies] PyCon Tutorials

[Steve Piercy - Web Site Builder]

Thanks for the tips and suggestions.  I appreciate it.

I signed up for these:

Wednesday AM:
web2py secrets
http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/sessions/26/

Wednesday PM:
Packaging, Documenting, and Distributing your Python Codebase
http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/sessions/32/

Thursday AM:
Hands on Beginning Python
http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/sessions/117/
(Out of all the entry-level python programming sessions, this 
was the only one that mentioned TDD.  To me it is obvious that 
learning to write code and testing that which you write should 
go hand-in-hand.  Plus "prizes"! :)  )

Thursday PM:
Documenting Your Project With Sphinx
http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/sessions/219/
(Includes some doctest stuff.  This conflicted with the "Hands 
on Intermediate Python" tutorial, but I felt learning how to use 
this documentation tool would be more important.)

I agree that the shortage of testing topics at pycon is a big disappointment.
