"One of the design rules for Python has always been to beg, borrow or steal whatever features I liked from existing languages..." Guido van Rossum Chicago Python User Group ========================= Special Event: "Ultimate Language Blowout II" Last time we held this event we blew the doors off Roosevelt University. This month we will hold the competition in a private meeting room (with its own wet bar, plenty of room, and great AV) at Sully's House on the North side. This meeting will surely be great entertainment for everyone--Everyone is welcome! The end result is we will crown a winner for the best presentation. For those watching, you will learn some Python features from a comparative approach. This will be the best competition ever hosted by ChiPy. ** Feel Free to Redistribute this information to any language oriented group in Chicago land area ** The Competition --------------- Each participant gets only 5-10 minutes (depending on entries). The person who makes the best case wins! They can do whatever they want-- just as long as each presentation is about some programming language other than Python and make at least one comparison to Python during the talk.
