Can I still apply for mentorship? Is anyone willing to mentor me? :)

I'm taking my second Coursera class - all I really want is someone to meet
me for coffee and help answer some very basic questions! Perhaps just once
a week.

I have an MBA and several years of consulting/sales experience - so happy
to offer my services in exchange...

Cheers,
Yogesh

Hey Ray. I'm sure someone has already said something but seems like the SSL
cert has expired at https://chipymentor.org/.

Just a heads up.

We're all closed up for the mentorship program this fall, we follow our
timelines pretty tightly because there are 40+ people in the program this
term. Hot dog! How great is that!

But that's a good question for anyone here. The Mentorship Program is a
great one, but it's not the only way to find mentorship in Chicago Python.
There are loads of forums. I just created another one called
#daily-mentorship in slack for people to offer informal mentoring or ask
for help outside of the program.

Respectfully,
Ray Berg

Yes, we've had many a report. This is a reminder that going on vacation is
something people do but computers should not.

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone can reach the mentorship team any time at
mentorship-team at chipymentor.org.

Respectfully,
Ray Berg

Message-ID: <CACdfcwXRm8ZsusnyGLaAuzNaFQZBspiO4mN3bCspFL3gT1m3FA@mail.gmail.com>

Chipy,

The next main meeting is almost here!  Hope to see you there.

Thank you to Metis for hosting us!


*When:*Thus Sep 13, 2018, 6:30 p.m.

6:00pm Doors open
6:30pm: Meeting Starts


*How:*You can RSVP at chipy.org <http://www.chipy.org/> or via our Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/events/253770388/> group.

*Where:*
Metis
1033 West Van Buren St
3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60607

*What:*


   - *How to install Anaconda*
   By: Kevin Nasto
   Experience Level: Novice
   Ever want to avoid installing Python packages with complex dependencies
   such as sklearn? Ever have permissions issues installing a package? Anaconda
   is the answer. This talk describes why use it and how to get it set up.
   - *Machine Learning and Deduplication*
   By: Forest Gregg
   Experience Level: Intermediate
   Machine learning and record linkage: Finding duplicates or matching data
   when you don't have primary keys is one of the biggest challenges in
   preparing data for data science. At DataMade we have built a python, open
   source machine learning library to help developers, and a product Dedupe.io
   to help everyone else. We describe the problem and how we use machine
   learning to scale to tens of millions of records.
   - *Why python is the best first programming language and here is how to
   make it even better*
   By: Jhankar Mahbub
   Experience Level: Novice
   Meet Simon! He doesn't have a technology background, but he wants to be
   a programmer. Should he go to a boot camp with 17k or read 29,900,000
   options provided by Google when he searched "Learn Python". Or he can join
   ChiPy mentorship program. While all of these will work, I would like to
   make his journey bit more enjoyable by presenting a more natural,
   friendlier, and a more interactive way to learn programming concepts. In
   this talk, we will look at functions, for loops, list comprehensions, and
   generators in a way that is easy for people like Simon to understand and
   use.



*Thank you always to all our sponsors, including our Diamond sponsors:
Metis and TelnyxAlso thank you to our Platinum sponsors: Braintree,
Imaginary Landscape, Lumere, and Signature Consultants. Also, thank you to
our Silver sponsor: Markit.Please be aware of our code of
conduct http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct/
