Need to get up-to-speed with Python as quickly as possible? Come join me, Wesley Chun, author of Prentice-Hall's bestseller "Core Python Programming," for another comprehensive intro course plus a 1-day Internet programming course coming up in November in beautiful Northern California! I look forward to meeting you! (Comprehensive) Introduction to Python Mon-Wed, 2008 Nov 10-12, 9am-5pm Internet Programming with Python Sat, 2008 Nov 15, 9am-5pm courses can be taken separately or combined for a discounted price. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (COMPREHENSIVE) INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON Although this course may appear to those new to Python, it is also perfect for those who have tinkered with it and want to "fill in the gaps" and/or want to get more in-depth formal training. It combines the best of both an introduction to the language as well as a "Python Internals" training course. We will immerse you in the world of Python in only a few days, showing you more than just its syntax (which you don't really need a book to learn, right?). Knowing more about how Python works under the covers, including the relationship between data objects and memory management, will make you a much more effective Python programmer coming out of the gate. 3 hands-on labs each day will help hammer the concepts home. Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, ILM/LucasFilm, VMware, NASA, Ubuntu, YouTube, and Red Hat all use Python. Users supporting or jumping to Plone, Zope, TurboGears, Pylons, Django, Google App Engine, Jython, IronPython, and Mailman will also benefit! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - INTERNET PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON This is a one-day course with lecture and lab exposing attendees to FOUR distinct areas of Internet programming: * Network Programming using Sockets -- we introduce client/server architecture and how to program sockets using Python. * Internet Client Programming -- we learn how to use Python's standard library to create FTP, NNTP, POP3, and SMTP clients * Web Programming -- before you jump on all the web framework bandwagons, it's a good idea to learn basics and the basis of how all web servers deliver dynamic content back to the client browser to prepare you better when jumping to a full-stack web framework * Intro to Django -- a lightweight introduction to the Django web framework including whipping up a very simple blog application in 20min! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WHERE: near the San Francisco Airport (SFO/San Bruno), CA, USA WEB: http://cyberwebconsulting.com (click "Python Training") FLYER: http://starship.python.net/crew/wesc/flyerPP1combo.pdf LOCALS: easy freeway (101/280/380) with lots of parking plus public transit (BART and CalTrain) access via the San Bruno stations, easily accessible from all parts of the Bay Area VISITORS: free shuttle to/from the airport, free high-speed internet, free breakfast and regular evening receptions; fully-equipped suites See website for costs, venue info, and registration.
