But if your friend wants to get extremely better at specific skills, such as data analysis using python, I'd recommend he spend more money to take the more focused classes. Those are $1200. Increase the budget. $300 for awesomeness is a good deal. Don't throw away $900 and a big chunk of time because someone thought $300 was too expensive. If the cheaper training isn't as a good, then your friend will have to get better training another time and will end up spending $900 + training time + time he is not as awesome until another training budget comes around + everything all over again.

Current competitors: - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Haskell or: How a List Comprehension Is Like a Burrito* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Greg Kettler It's a compiled, statically typed, lazy, purely functional programming language. About as far as possible from Python? Not quite. The languages have a lot in common and Python has already borrowed a few tricks from Haskell. - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: QUASI* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Randy Baxley 1977 - A language, the description of which was handed to me on about one hundred and fifty mimeographed eight and one half by eleven sheets. Robert Sibley handed it to the class to use as our compiler project. - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV CoffeeScript* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Feihong Hsu A brief introduction to CoffeeScript. - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Ruby* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Ross Heflin Ruby, what you need to know - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Go: come drink the delicious kool-aid* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: David Sutton From the makers of the wildly successful Plan 9 operating system and B programming language. Go is google's stab at a systems programming. - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: C# is slightly better than you might imagine* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Philip Doctor If you find yourself accidentally writing c#, you can still have some fun.

If no one wants to, just put a comment on the meetup page that says the group is active but doesn't use Meetup anymore.

Is the value outweighed by the monetary cost of the site and the effort to keep it open and up to date? Some groups like Boston and Atlanta use meetup exclusively.

My group does: http://tripython.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/trizpug and http://www.meetup.com/tripython/ I don't recommend it. It hasn't been good for us. If you want to know why, email me offline. I don't want to clog up your email list with my overflowing bile for meetup.com. Having a duplicate presence on meetup.com simply satisfies certain factions within our user group. But overall, having a meetup.com duplicate presence has not been good for the community aspect of my local Python community. Bigger is not the same as better. If you don't understand that, look at the Python pages on Facebook or G+. Not to mention that there are several exclusively meetup.com Python user groups around the country that operate essentially as walled gardens of gatekeepers: huge numbers of people in groups who don't seem to be able to communicate with one another. Brian, I'm sure you've experienced this when trying to communicate PyCon deadlines to meetup.com groups. It goes against the "open" clause of the new PSF code of conduct. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://nccoos.org/Members/cbc office: 3313 Venable Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From skip at pobox.com Tue Jun 25 15:49:27 2013 From: skip at pobox.com (Skip Montanaro) Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:49:27 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Meetup group In-Reply-To: <51C99E23.2040604@unc.edu> References: <51C99E23.2040604@unc.edu> Message-ID: > Not to mention that there are several exclusively meetup.com Python user > groups around the country that operate essentially as walled gardens of > gatekeepers: huge numbers of people in groups who don't seem to be able to > communicate with one another. As a member of the python.org postmaster team, I once needed to get in touch with someone who was a member (or perhaps leader) of the DFW (I think) Python group. Talk about a PITA! I had to register for the group, get approved, try and reach the guy through Meetup's web interface, then eventually disconnect from the group to keep from getting drivel of one kind or another. I no longer remember all the details, but it was certainly more difficult to communicate than I thought it should have been. Unless there is evidence that the Meetup interface really brings people here, I'd vote to get rid of it.

Meetup's only saving grace is it's network of people. I only use it as advertisement for new members. In that regard it does well. Sadly you can't turn off RSVPs in the interface. You also can't turn off "no" rsvps. Chipy doesn't have an issue getting members, for that reason I don't think we should use Meetup.

But since everyone's a bit busy at the moment, I'll tell you what little I know. * I've only used TFS for one project, and it wasn't a python project TFS (as you noted from the JIRA comparison) is a ton more than version control, it's also the task tracking, build server, code review tool, bug tracking, automated test server, some amount of deployment although that's sketchy etc etc etc. You ask for a direct comparison to Git, but in fact TFS supports Git as well for version control if you dislike their central version control software (they're using libgit2 and contributed to the project). When you say "Can I use it like I use JIRA" I can't answer, because JIRA has an insane amount of customization, far more than I've ever wanted or needed, but I know some people have immensely complicated work flows that they built in JIRA. What I can say is that you can trivially track tasks, create burn down charts, etc. > Can I still develop on OSX and Ubuntu? Yes, but how effectively you're using it is going to depend on your tools. TFS obviously works best with Visual Studio, inside VS there's every bell and whistle you (or more accurately, MSFT's UX team) can imagine. That said, there's also an eclipse plug in although a lot of python folks also dislike eclipse. Outside of that, there's things like their git-tf command line tools: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/learn/use-git-and-xcode-with-tfs http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4240 My best advise to you is, if you're strongly considering this as an option, get a free account and play around with it: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/ Then if you love it/hate it, give us a 10 minute presentation ;) On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Brian Ray wrote: > Anyone have +1 or -1 for this for any Python projects: > > http://tfs.visualstudio.com/ or the on-premise server. > > Has anyone used for a Python project.

We're having a meetup tonight for freelancers where we discuss issues related to freelancing, like insurance, incorporation, how to find work, how to handle clients and client agreements, and so on. If you're interested, please stop by. We're meeting at VentureShot at 744 N. Wells St. at 6:00pm. I'm planning to supply some beverages. http://www.meetup.com/chicagodev/events/125668762/ chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
