Python Concurrency Workshop, v2.0 January 14-15, 2010 Chicago, Illinois http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/concurrent.html
*** Last Two Weeks to Register ***
Join David Beazley, author of the Python Essential Reference, for an in-depth workshop on concurrent programming techniques and idioms. This workshop, designed for more experienced Python programmers, covers threads, synchronization, message passing, multiprocessing, distributed computing, coroutines, asynchronous I/O and other related topics with an eye towards writing programs that can run on multiple CPU cores, clusters, or distributed systems. A major theme of the workshop is to explore and understand different programming techniques, their associated performance properties, and other tradeoffs. You'll definitely walk away with new insight and a better understanding of how different parts of Python work under the covers.
Workshop attendance is strictly limited to six people. More information, including a detailed topic index, is available at:

Hopefully I'll see you in a few weeks!
