[TriZPUG] Hack Night

[Mark Lavin]

Scott,

I don't really have an agenda. It will be more of a collective of people
with various levels of knowledge of Python. Some will be working on personal
projects and some will be using the time to learn Python. I will be open to
questions and give direction where I can. My trying to convince my wife to
come. I've been trying to teach her enough Python/Django to work on our
website.

There are some great ways to get started in Python. I got started by going
through the Python Challenge http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ and then
solving problems on Project Euler http://projecteuler.net/. Both would make
great things to work on at Hack Night either on your own or with some of the
other Python beginners.

Hope to see you next week.

-Mark
