On Behalf of PythonMonth
Hi All,
PyCon India, the premier conference in India on using and developing the
Python programming language is conducted annually by the Python developer
community, represented by Python Software Society of India. The conference
attracts the best Python programmers across the country and abroad.
This year, PyCon India is celebrating the month of August as Python Month,
with aim of increasing the awareness and awesomeness of Python Programming
Language within the student community in India.
*WHAT IS PYTHON?*
Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used
for a diverse area of software development. It offers strong support for
integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard
libraries, and can be learnt in a few days.
Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the
language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable
code.
Some of the biggest names in the industry like Mozilla, Google,
YouTube,Dropbox, SurveyMonkey, Bitly and numerous others also use Python
for providing the services a lot of users are familiar with.
Because Python is very easy to learn and at the same time very powerful, it
is used as the first programming language in introductory courses of
Computer Science in many universities and high schools.
In India, Kerala state and CBSE have already adopted Python in their school
syllabus.
*HOW YOU CAN HELP*
Python month will be organized and completely run by volunteers, anyone who
wants to participate is welcome and all help is appreciated.
This is a big task to handle and therefore requires lot of volunteer
support. Here is how you can help.
1. If you are a Python programmer and please give a talk / workshop at a
college in your city.
2. If you are a professor or student, please facilitate the a workshop in
your college.
3. Help us in coordinating Python Month by talking to colleges to arrange
