[Chicago] The list

[kirby urner]

I'm a lurker who's been on this list a long time.

By "lurker" I don't mean I'm completely quiet, but rather that I'm nowhere
near Chicago, though I was born there and went to a Djangocon in some swank
hotel along the river (where I led a workshop before taking off on a
pilgrimage to the home town of our O'Reilly School of Technology [1]).

I'm interested in "code schools" both in cyberspace, in actual physical
digs, and in combination.  You'll find me through PDX Code Guild here in
Portland [2], however I have other gigs as well.

The connecting thread though is I'm focused on a full stack that features
Python (even though I totally get why some would work in Clojure and
React).

How does one best teach and learn to navigate and get work done in this
ecosystem?  I scan Chipy for ideas.

And I find them, in abundance.

The recent thread on flattening deeply nested data structures was pure gold
and I'm gonna turn around and teach it as a perfect example of how we use
itertools.

No complaints then, about the quality so far!  I'm getting what a lurk for.
:-D
