Hey Pythonistas! Hope to see you all at Hack Night tonight (http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/events/65102002)!
For those of you who would like to mentor new Python programmers, here's the main resource we'll be using: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Boston_Python_Workshop_6/Friday. This is the first 3 hour segment of the Python Workshop for Women and their friends (such as what we're running this weekend) that has instructions on installing and setting up Python and an editor, and going through a Python tutorial and practice exercises. Here is a link to the tutorial: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Boston_Python_Workshop_6/Friday/Tutorial. It is meant to be pretty much self-guided, but people may have questions about it and need a little assistance. Once the tutorial is completed, there are exercises on CodingBat (codingbat.com) along with a guide to using CodingBat: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Boston_Python_Workshop_6/Friday/CodingBat_Using_Codingbat. New Pythonistas may need help setting up a CodingBat login and working through the exercises. Above all, let's be friendly, welcoming and helpful to newcomers! Helping an interested newbie get interested in Python is a big investment in the future of the language itself, in addition to being just plain awesome. :) See you tonight!
