Looking for interesting project to work on
by markw＠sdf.lonestar.org April 29, 2009

April 29, 2009

Hello, In my previous jobs I used to use Python for a quite a variety of systems management automation stuff and did a bit of graphical work (Wx). I'm not a professional programmer, but I've done Windows services/Win32/ctypes stuff, DB based apps (Oracle), TCP/IP sockets - one way or another I've looked at most parts of Python. I've moved up (allegedly :-) into a different position now and I thought it would be nice to find an open source project or something similar to work on for fun. Does anyone have any good ideas about where to find something that would suit me (or an idea of a specific project)? Cheers Mark

Next Cambridge & East Anglia Meetings: Tue 5th May 2009
by Tony Ibbs April 28, 2009

April 28, 2009

As sent to the CamPUG Google Group: The next meeting will be Tuesday 5th May at 7.30pm, venue to be confirmed (early next week). As an experiment, I'd like to make it a "discussion" meeting, talking in general about testing - we've not done something quite like that, and I think there's enough scope for a full meeting. Of course, as normal, any lightning talks will also be welcome. (For what it's worth, I've been having fun at work writing a Linux kernel module with (userspace) tests in Python) The meetings thereafter will be: :CamPUG: Tuesday 2nd June, pub meeting :EuroPython 2009: in Birmingham, with the main event being Tuesday 30th June through Thursday 2nd July. See http://www.europython.eu/ for more details. :CamPUG: Tuesday 7th July, which will also be a pub meeting (since I'm assuming we'll all still be recovering after EuroPython). Tibs

JOB: Statistical Programmer | LOCATION: London, England, UK
by jt April 23, 2009

April 23, 2009

JOB: Statistical Programmer LOCATION: London I'm working with a business in London that are looking to hire a permanent programmer with experience of working on either mathematical or numerical projects. You need to have experience of both scripting (R would be great but really isn't an issue if you don't have familiarity with it although you will have to learn it as part of your job) and also compiled languages (preferably C++). The more languages you know the better, but it will not be a show stopper if you have only a few (for example, good knowledge of just one scripting language and C++ would be ok). Experience of using MySQL or similar would be preferential too! Please email me using james@... to discuss further. Thanks, JAMES to learn more about ... please visit http://www....
