Basically, you can do whatever you want. If you want to write some code and you can do that in Java in 5 minutes, go for it. You should make at least one language comparison to Python. You will not be disqualified if you don't but the point is to take this opportunity to become aware of what else is outside the walls of Python; meanwhile, while shedding light on by revealing differences.

Message-ID: In my "professional" audio opinion. The song at the end crackling is a major indicator that the speaker system itself is adjusted way wrong. The venue itself is actually really really great if we can solve two things. The lights over the projector, and the audio.

There are loads of wonderful free resources out there for beginners learning how to program, but not much in-person support.? We'll provide support from other students and (if we can capture one with the promise of beer) an experienced Python developer to help you work through homework problems and questions. All skill levels welcome!

What kind of resources are you interested in? Do you like learning with other people, or do you want some self directed study with online materials? There's a python study group that meets at Pumping Station One (PS1). I forwarded an announcement about it to the chipy mailing list just now. It's located on the north side of Chicago. Sometimes people have done one day teaching sessions before. Carl once had an idea of doing short chipy pre-meetings for people new to python. I don't know if he is still interested in that. Some people were talking about improving the django tutorial and perhaps filming it in action. So if people are interested in going through a tutorial on django, raise hands. -- sheila From brian at python.org Fri May 11 20:08:44 2012 From: brian at python.org (Brian Curtin) Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 13:08:44 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Open Django Central, here in Chicago - June 8-9 Message-ID: Two more weeks to pick up early bird tickets to Open Django Central -- http://opendjango.com/central/.
