No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python. If you are a bit rusty at programming, you might be more comfortable in an evening course that meets once a week so you have some time to absorb the concepts. You'll find those at the same url. Also, an online class is starting now: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5278450 officially starts on Sep 8 but the site is open for an early start, now. The online classes allow you plenty of time to complete the material, and I'm there encouraging you and answering your questions. ---- All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of relevant exercises, and, we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. Please come, and send students!

I?m writing to pass on two pieces of news. First we are soliciting lightning talks for Friday Night - if interested please fill out the form at https://goo.gl/forms/dR6H3Ku1h2wTve3x1 That?s right - it?s not too late to talk at PyBay! Give us your talk description via the form and I?ll run a poll to let the community vote for the talks. Additionally we?ve heard from some of you that it is hard to fit an entire weekend of conference-going into your busy lives. We hear you and want everybody in our community to be able to participate in PyBay. We made special 1-day tickets now for sale - please visit http://www.pybay.com/#!registration/yh9or and scroll down in the EventBrite widget. You should now see a Saturday-only ticket for $200 and a Sunday-only ticket for $175. Note that while these tickets are good only for 1 day of the conference you will still be provided continental breakfast and buffet lunch and of course lots of Peet?s Coffee throughout. Attendees on Saturday can also stick around and enjoy great food and drinks at the Job Fair and reception afterwards - I?ve heard rumors of Churasco style Brazilian Pork Loin & Filet Mignon Skewers, grilled pineapple, and other delights! And where else can you hang out with great Python people and chat with prospective employers? PyBay is only a week away! I hope to see you all there. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I didn't know what to expect as it was the first one. But, it was actually a really good conference. I have that python-conference excitement. I learned a lot and even shared a little too. And, we're lucky in that we have more. This week, we will Explore Google APIs with Wesley Chun (please use the following link to RSVP so we can plan chairs and food): http://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228209050/ And, next month's talk will be done by Guido. Because Guido's talks do "sell out" so quickly, we have to keep a limit. So, reserve your spot today. http://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228209068/ There are some other cool announcements this week, but I don't want to steal Jeff's thunder. So, be on the lookout for more good news from us soon. Cheers, Glen Jarvis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you plan to go, please RSVP on meetup.com: https://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228209050/. If you already said "yes", but cannot make it, please change your RSVP to "no". It looks like it will be a full house. Thanks! *Topic: Exploring Google APIs with Python* *Speaker: Wesley Chun* *Location: LinkedIn* 2025 Stierlin Ct., Mountain View, CA (map ). This is Building 3. The entrance is on the side facing Building 2. *Meeting Room: Unite (On the second floor)* *Meeting Schedule:* - *7:00 pm* Networking - 7:15 pm Announcements and presentation - 8:45 pm Random access - 9:00 pm Event ends *Abstract:* Ever wanted to integrate Google technologies into the web+mobile apps that you build? Did you know Google has various open source libraries that help you do exactly that? Users who may have tried & failed, run into roadblocks, been confused about using our APIs, or had issues with authentication are welcome to come and make these non-issues moving forward. Finally, we'll demo using multiple Google APIs to give you an idea of what it's all about! *FULL DESCRIPTION* This talk covers everything you need to know in order to use Google APIs from Python. We'll start with the Google APIs Client Library, which you can use with *any* of the languages supported, not just Python. We'll discuss how to install the Client Library for Python, then describe & show the steps necessary to create new projects & enable Google APIs from the Developers Console. Next we discuss how to create & access the necessary credentials. That's just the setup. The second part of the talk walks you through the necessary boilerplate code that you need to get started. This code will stay fairly consistent for your first, second, or 20th app, and whether you using 1, 2, or 20 Google APIs. We'll conclude demonstrating some of these steps, and time-permitting, walk through some some simple code (in Python) that accesses Google APIs. Some APIs only require simple API key access while others require full authorization, so we'll do our best to show examples of how to do both. *Speaker Bio* WESLEY CHUN, MSCS, is the author of Prentice Hall's bestselling "Core Python" book series & companion videos (corepython.com), co-author of "Python Web Development with Django" (withdjango.com), and has written for Linux Journal, CNET, and InformIT.
