Chicago Python User Group ========================= Save the date for the ``awesomest`` Chicago Python user group meeting ever! This Thursday we will hear from the creator of Prudence on Advanced Caching techniques. http://threecrickets.com/prudence/ Prudence is an open source Scalable REST/JVM Web Development platform. This is *NOT* just another web development framework! It actually embraces the JVM with some Jepp support (yep that is CPython on the JVM). Non blocking I/O, the most amazing caching system ever. no database layer, example uses SQLAlchemy but other have even used NOSQL MongoDB. Next, be sure to turn **ON** your cellphones .... we will get to hack an Android phone with the supported Python scripting language. Finally, the ChiPy list has been bringing Python developers out of the woodwork in the North suburbs. Let's make ChiPy even more accessible by starting a North branch of ChiPy. We already have several sponsor, hosting requests... hopefully, we can bring some leaders downtown for a special planning meeting. Food / Beer sponsor is Imaginary Landscape http://www.imagescape.com/. Thanks ITA for hosting. Wheeee this will be great. If even a small chance you will come, please RSVP and voice your pizza choice: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHVLOTNTU3oxTzJKYjB3RmV4eVZ... This will be the best meeting ever.

About the group --------------- ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers, people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting. Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues, elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!) http://chipy.org
