Re: [python-uk] Sudoku links & dojo ideas
Is anyone interested in going through those Strang's lectures with me? Like a book club. We could watch one lecture a week at our own convenience, and then use a google group or somesuch to discuss our answers to the exercises. A few of us are currently doing the same with SICP, and although our progress is not terrifically speedy, it seems to be working out. Jonathan On 11/12/2009 10:20, Ben Moran wrote:

(If you have been inspired to brush up your linear algebra, a good place is Gilbert Strang's MIT course, http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-06Spring-2005/CourseHome/index.htm )
Thinking about ideas for future events, I think it could be fun to do some more hands-on coding in small groups. How about:
- Something like Robocode (maybe using Jython? http://www.mail-archive.com/edu-sig@python.org/msg05371.html) - Playing with the IPython parallel features - http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/rel-0.9.1/html/parallel/index.html - Something with Twisted- I'm really keen to learn this. Perhaps we could set up a chat server using the demo projects, find some Eliza chatbot code & wire it in and stage a networked Turing test...
Cheers

Hi, Jonathan - I'd like to participate in that "book club" idea. Ciarán
Sounds like a plan. Please let me know if you decide to go with this. cheers, Toby
Hi Jonathan, I'm up for that too. Tom On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 10:43 AM, Jonathan Hartley <tartley@tartley.com> wrote:
