by Vinay Dahiya May 26, 2014

May 26, 2014

Ever since i started python programming i have been asked this question quiet a few times by many people who want to learn python. What is a good starting point for python ? Many people have different answer to this question. So i just want to collate that information so that i can give a real good answer to this question and maybe others as well can be make there answers more perfect. So please share your experience and resources where you dove into python. For me two resources were all that i need to dive into python. 1) A video lecture series along with a great pratice set with quiet realistic problems the kind we solve at our work with relevant data etc. https://developers.google.com/edu/python/?csw=1 2) Python's docs they are so well written and well managed and they are just amazing. https://docs.python.org/2.7/ -- pygoku (Vinay Dahiya) http://vinaydahiya.com

by Vinay Dahiya May 19, 2014

May 19, 2014

We started of with: - Interaction with a team lead by *Dr Victor Udoewa* from Google's http://www.webacademy.com/splash/ project who would be " using the insights in order to create a curriculum on digital literacy" - Dr Vicotr Udoewa gave a talk on Digital Literacy and what Google is doing to solve the digital illiteracy at different level. - He told us that Google is trying to solve the problem at three different levels. - 1st is Power. for areas where stable power source is not there they are helping to setup up power sources that are mainly renewable sources. - 2nd is Infrastructure for areas that have stable power they help in setup infrastructure for internet like setting up fibecables etc. - 3rd is outreach program where they go out to teach them. They help them in becoming digital literate and better use the knowledge that is there available through digital mediums. - In his talk he showed us a video how digital literacy can be helpful very inspiring link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE63BYWdqC4 - It was a long talk with a lot information on literacy education etc. - After that there was a feed back session for *Dr Victor Udoewa* teams research. Next up was some thought's shared by fellow pythonista *Vaidik Kapoor* here are his thought's in his own words as sent out on mailing list thread: I spoke about my recent adventures of trying to make Python slightly more functional. I spoke about two things today: Partial Functions or Currying and Tail Call. So just to remind you of the same, I am sharing some content with you so that you can read it if you want to know more: 1. Partial Functions 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying 2. http://pydanny.com/python-partials-are-fun.html 2. Tail Recursion 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call 2. http://oldfashionedsoftware.com/2008/09/27/tail-recursion-basics-in-scala/ To understand what Functional features Python has to offer other than list comprehensions and the simple map, reduce and filter functions, checkout the functools library: http://docs.python.org/2/library/functools.html. If anyone has more to share, please do so on this thread! I will share my work once I have made some progress towards documentation and more testing. Guys so if you want to be informed about stuff like this go register @ https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ncr-python.in Next was Aniket Maithani who is doing a project using Pi board named HASS: Home Automation & Security System [HASS] is a full fledged home automation system which will be economically viable for the user to adapt. The cross platform type of the application will enable user to get alerts on the go irrespective of the type of phone/system a user uses. The application would be released under GPL License. Taken from the documentation found @ http://aniketmaithani.github.io/HASS/ He is open to suggestion and discussioin about the project improvement and other ideas related to it. So don't hesitate and find him on https://github.com/aniketmaithani also a member of the mailing list. Last up was general discussions about the next meetup. Anuvrat Parashar and all the members of Reviews42 team that are part of Ncr-python user group have also proposed Reviews42 as the venue for the next meetup. And for those interested in cloud technology, systems , HGigh perfomance computing, high performance networks etc. Prof. Andrew Lynn has offered to help out with JNU resources. P.S. Is it ok to post group photos of the meetup on facebook and this mailing list ? -- pygoku (Vinay Dahiya) http://vinaydahiya.com

[Ncr-Python.in] [Ncr-python.in][Inpycon] Initiative for mini conferences across India
by Vinay Dahiya May 18, 2014

May 18, 2014

Please go through the mail 1st. I think this can be very helpful to create awareness about python in Delhi NCR. So what say guys should we make up a team to do such a event??? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: vijay kumar <vnbang2003(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, May 18, 2014 at 5:23 PM Subject: [Inpycon] Initiative for mini conferences across India To: Mailing list for the PyCon India conference <inpycon(a)python.org> Hi All, I was thinking from long time on the concerns we are facing in PyCon India. I think we should concentrate to solve these issues as it might be hindrance to our growth in upcoming years. We don’t have enough Volunteer base for PyCon India in cities other than Bangalore and we are restricted to conduct conference in Bangalore. Though there are potential people who can take this forward they don’t have enough experience in organizing an event like PyCon India and it requires contribution from lot more people and we need good volunteer base. To maintain the quality of talks in PyCon India we have previous experience as one of our selection criteria. But there may be speakers who are technically solid but he would not have experience presenting it to a good number of audience becuase of which his talk might not get selected. I think it would be a better idea to conduct one day mini conference in different cities across India to provide solution to the concerns. Please find my inputs below on the same. We can look for a chair person in each city who are willing to take responsibility to organize a conference which in turn will help them understand what it takes to organize an event like PyCon India. These conferences will provide platform to new speakers and also others to showcase their talent so they can prepare themselves well for PyCon India. To start with, we can have a day event in a college so that we don’t need to bare the venue expense and we would get an opportunity to create awareness about Python and create volunteer base. The registration fee and the sponsorship amount may be considerably less just to manage the food expense. If in a city they are not able to get considerable number of sponsors ,PSSI can share considerable amount to help organize the event. If we don’t have enough speakers in a local user group, PSSI can help them get a speaker from other cities and provide their travel expense if required. Overall it helps PyCon India to create awareness and build strong volunteer base across India. Let me know your thoughts on the same. Thanks, Vijay _______________________________________________ Inpycon mailing list Inpycon(a)python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon -- pygoku (Vinay Dahiya) http://vinaydahiya.com
