* * Introduction to Python Programming * * with David Beazley, author "Python Essential Reference"
March 16-18, 2010 Chicago, Illinois http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago Join Python book author and developer David Beazley for an intense no-bull course aimed at applying Python to practical problems. Topics are aimed at tasks that you face on a day-to-day basis. For example, analyzing data files, encoding/decoding various file formats, accessing databases, scraping web pages, automating system tasks, integrating Python with legacy software, and more. Even if you already know some Python, you will walk away from this course with new insight and ideas. This is the same course that Dave regularly teaches on-site for government and corporate clients. The course features a 300 page guidebook, more than 50 hands on exercises, a copy of the "Python Essential Reference", lunch, snacks, and more. Unlike a typical training course, this class is held at Dave's Chicago office and is strictly limited to 6 students--a size that facilitates interaction and ensures that your questions will be answered. You will not be disappointed. More details can be found at http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/index.html Hopefully I'll see you in Chicago!
