Hi Pythonistas,

We have a "Python for Programmers" retreat-style class next week, 9-5,
March 14-17, at our lab at UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara, right across the
101 from the Great America sign:

This class is for programmers who are already well-experienced in some
other language.  No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be
new to Python.

If you are a bit rusty at programming, you might be more comfortable in an
evening course that meets once a week so you have some time to absorb the
concepts.  You'll find those:

Also, there are online classes.  This one:

officially starts on April 12 but you can start March 15 and have a head
start.  The online classes allow you plenty of time to complete the
material, and I'll be there encouraging you and answering your questions.

----
All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of
relevent exercises, and, we study the solutions after some lab time.

Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged.

Please come, and send students!

And, the first quarter of the professional course is available for $20 at
Udemy.Com!  I'm so busy that I can't say when the rest of the course will
be there, but I'm working on it, and part ii is close to ready:

I hope you find one of these classes useful to your schedule and your taste.
