We have some great tutorials lined up: http://pyconuk.org/timetable.html Christian Muirhead, Menno Smits and myself will be holding an IronPython tutorial in the morning session. I've put up a page on the PyCon UK wiki showing: * The topics we intend to cover * The pre-requisites (bring a laptop - you will be coding!) http://www.pyconuk.org/community/IronPythonTutorial There is also a space for you to request additional topics if there is anything you particularly want us to cover. If you are intending to come to the tutorial there is also space on the page for you to put your name. If you do come, please check the pre-requisites again as we are still deciding (for example) what databases we will be able to support. (It is likely that we will support MySQL, SQL Server and Postgres and we may also support sqlite.)

One half day tutorial on the Friday will be "Practical Python GUI Programming with PyQt4", summarised here: http://pyconuk.org/talk_abstracts.html#1033 It is aimed at Python 2 programmers, although no GUI experience is assumed. You will need a laptop---Windows/Mac/Linux---whatever you have, with Python 2.5 and PyQt4 and an editor (e.g. IDLE) _already installed_, since the tutorial is a mixture of exposition and hands on programming. [It may be possible to borrow a suitable laptop---please contact the organisers about this.] For those just wanting an introduction to GUI programming with PyQt4, there will be a one hour talk on Saturday, summarised here: http://pyconuk.org/talk_abstracts.html#1032 Conference web site: http://pyconuk.org -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Programming in Python 3" - ISBN 0137129297 From simon at brunningonline.net Thu Aug 21 10:18:48 2008 From: simon at brunningonline.net (Simon Brunning) Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:18:48 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Pre-Pycon London Python meetup, September the 2nd.
