Hi everyone,

You may recall me asking for volunteers back in September to trial a couple
of Python courses.

Well, the trial runs went ahead and the feedback was all very positive and
encouraging. So a big thank you to everyone who helped out, or offered to
do so (and I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!)

I'm pleased to announce that the Python Quickstart course (beginner level)
is finally ready and that a first date has been set for the 14th-15th
April, with more to follow. Tickets are available on the Eventbrite page
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/python-quickstart-tickets-22174211664>.

The more advanced course (now called Better Python) is still being
finalised and I expect to announce dates for that in the coming weeks.

You can find more details and sign up for updates on the website:
www.codecoaching.ninja

For questions it's easier for me if you email me at
andrew at codecoaching.ninja but feel free to reply here for general
comment/discussion :-)

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

In case you don't remember me, it's Martin: we met up before xmas for
a drink and to chat about courses, books, etc.

Just wanted to say congratulations on setting up the course; I know
how much time and effort it takes to do something like this. I'm
working on a couple of new courses for later on this year, maybe we
should meet up for a pint again? I'd be really interested to hear how
your trial courses went.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Of course I remember! Thanks for the kind words. I hope your python for
biologists course is still going strong too.

I'm in land of no wifi at the minute but will be in touch once I'm back in
civilisation and arrange a catch up.

Cheers,

Andy.

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python Pub Meetup Tomorrow!
Message-ID: <CA+7Ednn0+RaaU6NgbNsBpGv=YK1ed90EKchqya8=vRLjL29Ftg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

We will be running a pub meetup tomorrow (Tuesday) night downstairs at
Milnes Bar on Hanover Street, from 6:30pm. There will be printouts of the
Python logo on the tables to make it easy to spot us.

This is a great opportunity to meet other Python developers and aspiring
Python developers in an informal environment, ask questions and generally
talk about things that interest you!

We'll be running talks next month. It'll be a ticketed event with limited
spaces, so keep an eye on the mailing list for announcements!

See you tomorrow!

Mark

Update: there's a bit of a change to the courses:

Instead of separate classes (formerly Python Quickstart and Writing Better
Python) there will now be just one self-paced workshop with the full
content from both courses available.

You simply work through lessons which are relevant to you, with help close
at hand. The aim is for you to learn what is most useful to you without
being constrained by the pace of the group.

There will still be presentations & demonstrations, but on a break-out
basis, to clusters of people at the same level.

Additionally, you are invited to bring in your own code so you get a chance
to see how you could apply the new practices in a real world situation and
ask questions.

I believe this will help everyone get more value out of the sessions (and
avoid the problems of picking the right course for you).

Those who had already booked in have been informed, and sound very happy
with the change.

See http://www.codecoaching.ninja/#python-workshop for full details.

If you have any questions, please email me at andrew at codecoaching.ninja.

Thanks for reading!

Andrew
