* * * Final Weeks to Register * * * Python Mastery Bootcamp with David Beazley, author "Python Essential Reference"
April 12-16, 2010 Big Nerd Ranch Atlanta, Georgia http://wwww.bignerdranch.com/classes/python In a nutshell, the Python Mastery Bootcamp is the 5 most intensive days of Python training you're going to be able to find anywhere. While there are numerous introductory tutorials and courses that can teach you Python basics, this one-of-a-kind course is designed for software developers, system administrators, engineers, and scientists who are already writing Python code, but who want to dig deep and take their Python programming skills to a whole new level. The course starts with a brief review of Python programming basics and then immediately dives into more advanced aspects of the Python language including object-oriented and functional programming techniques, packaging and distribution, metaprogramming, advanced I/O handling, generators, coroutines, concurrency (threads and multiprocessing), distributed computing, and interfacing with foreign code written in C and C++. In addition, the course discusses issues associated with Python 3 including the problem of migrating existing Python code. Python Mastery Bootcamp is taught by David Beazley, author of the highly-acclaimed Python Essential Reference. David is also widely known for his past PyCon tutorials on advanced Python topics including generators, coroutines, and most recently, the Python 3 I/O system. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
