Python training courses
by w chun 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

please forgive the unsolicited commercial solicitation, but folks have approached me about public Python training courses after my tutorial Thursday, so i thought i would just send out an announcement in case you had questions while we're still here so you could stop me in the halls. (i've also printed out a few flyers along with my business card on the general handout table near the registration desk.) anyway, i'll be giving four more Python training sessions (held near the San Francisco international airport) for the remainder of this year: (Intensive) Introduction to Python March 29-31, 2006 August 16-18, 2006 Advanced Python Programming May 17-19, 2006 November 8-10, 2006 for more info and details, go to http://cyberwebconsulting.com and click the Python training link, or even better, grab me while i'm still here (taking off early afternoon tho). :-) i will also post a more general announcement to comp.lang.python when i get back home this coming week. cheers, -wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2006,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com

Booksigning Party at PyCon This Year -- UPDATE
by Jeff Rush 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS For inventory security reasons, please do NOT bring your own books to the bookstore to be signed. Mixing attendee books with store books in a party atmosphere would be difficult to manage and we need to be considerate of the store. I mispoke in the original announcement. So that the bookstore can have copies on-hand, we'd like to collect a list of titles you'd consider having signed. Please edit the following wiki page and add your choices. Authors, you can add your books too. http://us.pycon.org/TX2006/BookSigning -Jeff

Booksigning Party at PyCon This Year!
by Jeff Rush 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Because many authors of books related to Python will be in attendance at PyCon, we would like to organize a book signing activity. It seems logical to hold it Saturday night at the party at the Nerdbooks.com bookstore. Bring your own books or buy new ones in the store! And if you're an author in attendance who would like to promote your book, drop an email to "jeff at taupro.com" or come forward when we call the book signing to order in the store. So that the bookstore can have copies on-hand, we'd like to collect a list of titles you'd consider having signed. Please edit the following wiki page and add your choices.
