As a target newbie....

Assign the Google presentation as a pre-meeting self-study ( :-) ).
and then what I'd really like to see is a walk through of a 'simple'
complex app. I.e., just a few files, but something that touches how to
call a module and package and what the 'ell are all those __word__  methods I
see.  (I know, slide 34).

And maybe a bit on best practices so I start off on the right foot.
