Just a quick announcement to let everyone know that there is still time to register for the upcoming Python Bootcamp course being offered by Big Nerd Ranch in Frankfurt, Germany, July 16-20, 2007. Further details about the class are available here: http://www.bignerdranch.com/classes/python.shtml As the instructor, I am very excited about this class and think that it has a lot to offer to programmers with or without prior Python experience. Probably the most exciting aspect of the course is that it has been developed from the ground up to target modern Python. As a result, it fully covers the latest language features and library modules. These topics include iterators, generators, metaclasses, the etree module, ctypes, and more. In addition to this, the course strongly focuses on topics such as such as common Python programming patterns, how to write reliable code, unit testing, debugging, systems, and network programming. More information is available at the above website. I can also be contacted directly for further inquiries regarding course content. Hope to see a few Python fans in Europe! Cheers, Dave Brief Instructor Bio: David Beazley is the author of the "Python Essential Reference, 3rd Ed." and several well-known Python packages including SWIG and PLY.
