Announcing the first Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friends! Jan. 18-19, 2013 The Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friends is a free hands-on introduction to computer programming that's fun, accessible, and practical even to those who've never programmed at all before. We empower women of all ages and backgrounds to learn programming in a beginner-friendly environment. Thanks to Pillar Technologies for hosting the workshop in their brand-new office in Columbus' Short North! The workshop is the latest in a series based on the famous Boston Python Workshop; they've already introduced hundreds of beginners to programming in Boston, Indianapolis, Portland, Chicago, and Kansas City. Now it's Ohio's turn, so spread the word! Get more details and sign up now: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Columbus_Python_Workshop * Happy Ada Lovelace Day! Traditionally, Ada Lovelace Day is celebrated by highlighting the achievements of present and past women in programming. Today, instead, I'm saluting the contributors of the future! * -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com
