[TriZPUG] Last Night's Raleigh Project Night

[Chris Calloway]

We had a bit of a surprise at Raleigh Project Night last night. A first 
time member, Chris Laffra, demonstrated his online Python algorithm 
visualization site, http://pyalgoviz.appspot.com , and the code behind 
it. The code behind it was fascinating. First time I'd seen anybody do a 
"with self". That alone was worth the price of admission.

I've seen other sites like this for sorting algorithms. But what makes 
this one different is you can click on a visualization, see the 
algorithm code, see the visualization code, and control its execution. 
You can also log in and add your own algorithms and visualization to the 
collection.

I thought this was so cool that I asked Chris if he would speak about 
this at this month's meeting in Carrboro and he agreed. So look for the 
meeting announcement soon.

Thank you, Chris!

See you at Carrboro Project Night tonight.
