This would involve attending a run through of the course over a day or two (free Python training, yay!) and providing feedback. The two courses are: * Python Quickstart (Aimed at beginners) * Working faster with Python (Aimed at people who work with Python, but missed out on proper developer training e.g. academics, researchers, analysts, IT people) There's more details on the website: http://www.codecoaching.ninja If you are interested either in helping refine the courses or attending once they're ready, please let me know. Although I have experience coaching one to one, group courses are a new venture so if anyone has question or suggestions, I'm all ears!

URL: From luke at ajenta.net Fri Oct 2 15:23:29 2015 From: luke at ajenta.net (Luke Drummond) Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 14:23:29 +0100 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Developers wanted Message-ID: Hello all Apologies for any cross-posting. My company are currently hiring. Please see the job description below, and If you're interested, mail jobs at ajenta.net with your details, and any questions you have about us or the post. We're looking for people to start ASAP, so please don't hesitate if you're interested. All the Best Luke -------------------------- ## Company [Ajenta](https://ajenta.net) are working with clients all over the world to create innovative communication tools that are changing the way people collaborate. With a growing client base from healthcare and education to large enterprise, Ajenta are at the forefront of the future of communication technology. We are are seeking talented developers to help build innovative video conferencing solutions, and change the way real-time communication is used. This is a truly exciting opportunity to join a young, dynamic and highly skilled company during a period of growth. As a developer at Ajenta, you'll have the opportunity to work on the cutting-edge video conferencing problems including ground-breaking work on multi-point WebRTC applications, solving the interoperability problem and providing real-time performance and usage metrics on our services for our clients, large and small. We use multiple languages and technologies and want smart, curious developers who are willing to try new things to get the job done. We heavily benefit from open-source, Linux, and the Python ecosystem but are always willing to try new things when it benefits us and our clients. That means you might be using Django with Python for one project but decide that Lua and nginx-openresty is better for something else. We are a people focused company and are looking for people who want to benefit from working closely together as a team where you will be supported and your opinions and ideas valued. ## Some things we look for in a new hire: - Polyglots: We currently use (mostly) Python, with some Lua, C++, JavaScript, and shell, and the usual assortment of build tools and deployment tools; we frequently help our clients who use any number of other languages, so the ability to pick up new technology with ease is a must. - We want clear and thorough documentation and look for people who would rather point a colleague to the internal wiki than waste time delivering the history lecture. - We want opinionated developers: if you see that something can be done in a more efficient or elegant way that challenges the prevailing solution we want you to speak up. - We want developers interested in privacy, authenticity and writing high-quality code. - We want expert problem solvers. Your first point of call when encountering someone else's buggy application is Wireshark, ipython, and the relevant RFC. ## Education A Computer Science degree is not *required* as all smart programmers from any background will be considered. We favour applicants with a strong portfolio and history of open-source contributions, so make sure you include a link to your Blog/GitHub/Bitbucket profile if possible. ## Benefits - Permanent contract. - Flexible working (we build videoconferencing software, after all!). - Opportunity to shape the future of our products and our markets. - Great salary and benefits. - Very modern working environment ? headquartered in Edinburgh, but operating globally. - Work for a responsible business ? We operate as a 100% paperless business and are working towards carbon-zero status. Where possible we practice what we preach and seek to improve the work life balance by reducing the need to travel through technology. ## How to Apply Send your CV to jobs at ajenta.net and be sure to send along links to any publicly available contributions, be it source, documentaion, or commentary.
