* * Introduction to Python Masterclass * * May 11-13, 2009 Chicago, Illinois with David Beazley, author "Python Essential Reference" http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago Take your Python programming skills to the next level. David Beazley is pleased to offer 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 administration, databases, and software integration. If you are new to Python, this class will quickly bring you up to speed and allow you to immediately apply Python to problems you face everyday. If you already know some Python, this course will give you new insights, inspire you to improve the programs you have already written, and give you a roadmap towards Python 3 and beyond. This is the same class that Dave has taught on-site to more than 400 students including rocket scientists, robot builders, hardware engineers, financial wizards, and web programmers. Forget about the midwest winter and mind-numbing suburban technology parks---the venue for this class is centrally located in the heart of Chicago's vibrant downtown financial/theater district. When class is not in session, you will be just steps away from many of Chicago's most famous cultural attractions, shopping districts, and lakefront parks. Come prepared for three days of serious Python instruction and springtime urban exploration.
