David Beazley, author of the Python Essential Reference is pleased to announce an "Introduction to Python" class on May 11-13, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. This course, open to individual enrollment, is a comprehensive hands-on course for programmers, scientists, and engineers who want to master the essential elements of Python programming in order to solve real-world problems in data processing, systems programming, and software integration. This is the same acclaimed course that Dave has taught at more than 30 on-site locations in 2007-2008. The venue for this class is centrally located in the heart of Chicago's downtown financial/theater district. When the class is not in session, you will be just steps away from many of Chicago's most famous parks and cultural attractions. So, come prepared for three days of serious Python instruction and urban exploration.
