[Python Edinburgh] Python Workshop/Support group Edinburgh

[Bald, Glenn]

Hello All,
 
Ok shall we just do it?  A workshop/support group  for learning and
gaining experience in python? Based on working on real world issues that
people bring along? Is this different enough to anything that currently
exists and can exist without having a negative impact on any other
group? 
 
Who is interested in coming either to learn or to mentor? Anyone like to
take the lead and organise or help organise? Do be shy or this will
never get off the ground.
 
Cheers
Glenn

	Small regular workshops would be a great Idea and I'd be happy
to help out. I know Becky got a *lot* of interest in her Django girls
workshop that's running this weekend so I don't think there would be any
shortage of other students either :) 

	I imagine if the mentors took it in shifts to take workshops we
could get fairly regular lessons without impacting anyones personal life
too much?

	Any ideas? Anyone else up for mentoring?


	Cheers,

	James.

		Hi Paul,
		 
		I would find small regular tutorials/self help groups
helpful. I mainly use GIS software and C# with a little python. I would
be interested in learning more python.

		Dear Pythonistas

		I'm looking for a Python mentor/tutor/adviser. Someone
to help me in the next few months to get to a stage where I can call
myself a Pythonista. I have a few bob.

		I wish to learn Python and OO program design. I'm pretty
clueless but I have some programming experience (12 years of Fortran and
a year of C++, but more than 25 years ago!).
		I would like to learn by doing, by building a couple of
simple Object Oriented Monte Carlo programs to simulate simple economies
or supply chains.

		In the future I hope to make simple desktop
applications, web applications, to use in my job (I do some data
analysis and modelling for the World Health Organisation in the area of
immunization supply chain % logistics). 

		Any advice, suggestions, offers greatly appreciated.

		Cheers, Paul
