Subject: [Baypiggies] Slides and info from my newbie nugget
Message-ID: <CAPFNg_2LAFU2d3tMuWAknACa4zHG_JEHL2z5gutrmYPXUhpEXA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
 The slides and content from my class decorator talk are up on my blog at:
http://blog.genforma.com/2011/07/28/class-decorator-talk/

 Thanks to everyone for the interesting discussion on Thursday. I think
there's more to cover on decorators, so I'm planning to write another blog
post on the topic this coming Thursday.

Have a great week,
Jeff Fischer

PS Thanks to James for the very interesting talk on GUI automation!

Frankly speaking, i did not find this to be a great one. Bulk of the issues
are already known and have debated at length.

Having said that, i feel learning a bunch of languages is fun and nice. For
eg. i use Java extensively, but at the same time meddle with Python+Django
and am planning to get deep into RoR(just to check whether its worth the
hype). I was recently introduced to JPA(Java Persistence) and it has been
quiet a fun ride learning and comparing it with Django's ORM.

In short, language wars are boring, IMHO.

Maybe so, but I've been programming for thirty-five years, and I find
every language other than Python painful.  I thank Guido daily for
creating Python.  And, no, I am not exaggerating in the slightest.

My point is that language wars may be boring, but there are real
differences between languages and language wars are one way that people
get information about them.

True. But i would like to rephrase your statement by saying that, 'actual
fun' is when you meddle with other languages and learn. Unless you get your
hands dirty, you dont actually *know* how it is.

Aye Aye on Python...no other language comes closer.

I'm a totally language fanatic, so I'm always happy to talk about
differences in programming languages.  I'm currently moving on from my love
affair with Scala to flirting with Go.  As for Ruby on Rails, although I
like Python a bit more than Ruby, I prefer to use Ruby on Rails when I'm
doing web development.

Ditto.  I could wish it was Common Lisp (macros), and Cobra and Clojure
are interesting, but still...

Subject: [Baypiggies] ACCU Wednesday 'Code Simplicity: The Science of
 Software Development' Max Kanat-Alexander
Message-ID: <4E4019F2.4050701@gbbservices.com>

When:      Wednesday, August 10, 2011
Topic:     Code Simplicity: The Science of Software Development
Speaker:   Max Kanat-Alexander
Time:      6:30pm doors open
         7:00pm meeting begins
Where:     Symantec
         VCAFE building
         350 Ellis Street (near E. Middlefield Road)
         Mountain View, CA 94043
Map:       <http://tinyurl.com/334rv5>
Directions: VCAFE is accessible from the semicircular courtyard between Symantec buildings <http://tinyurl.com/2dccgc>
Cost:      Free
More Info: <http://www.accu-usa.org>

The topic of this meeting will be "the fundamental laws of software development", as described in Max's upcoming book "Code Simplicity". The book took many years to compile, and is currently planned to be published by O'Reilly Media in Q4 of 2011. This talk starts off with a discussion of the broad, general rules currently known in the field of software design, to give us a good base. Then we'll discuss the newly-discovered Laws of Software Design and how they can be used in practical software development, showing also how they underlie many of the currently-known best practices.

The hope of "Code Simplicity" is to change the world of software development, to take it from its current rudimentary, unsure state and elevate it to a level where we all as software engineers have a common base of ideas which we can use to understand, discuss, and handle complexity, design, implementation, maintenance, change, and all of the other broad aspects attendant to our software engineering lives.

Max Kanat-Alexander is the author of the forthcoming book "Code Simplicity: The Science of Software Development" to be published by O'Reilly in Q4 of 2011. He is also the Chief Architect of the Bugzilla Project, the author of fedorafaq.org, and a Software Engineer at YouTube.

Meetings are open to the public and are free of charge.

Message-ID: <CAD+XWwrqOEktcd5h1+VTFdGshh6CpaNi8M88yYDq3QD4CO77vg@mail.gmail.com>

With PyCon 2012 efforts off to a great start, we?re looking for you,
the people of the Python community, so show us what you?ve got. Our
call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) just went out and
we want to include you in our 2012 conference schedule, taking place
March 7-15, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA.

The call covers tutorial, talk, and poster applications, and we?re
expecting to blow the previous record of 250 applications out of the
water. Put together your best 3-hour class proposals for one of the
tutorial sessions on March 7 and 8. Submit your best talks on any
range of topics for the conference days, March 9 through 11. The
poster session will be in full swing on Sunday with a series of 4'x4'
posters and an open floor for attendees to interact with presenters.
Get your applications in early - we want to help you put together the
best proposal possible, so we?re going to work with submitters as
applications come in.

See more details and submit your talks here: http://us.pycon.org/2012/speaker/

We?re also looking for feedback from your past PyCon experiences along
with what you?re looking for in the future, by way of our 2012
Guidance Survey at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pycon2012_launch_survey. The attendees
make the conference, so every response we get from you makes a
difference in putting together the best conference we can.

If you or your company is interested in sponsoring PyCon, we?d love to
hear from you. Join our growing list with Diamond sponsors Google and
Dropbox, and Platinum sponsors Microsoft, Nasuni, SurveyMonkey, and
Gondor by Eldarion. CCP Games, Linode, Walt Disney Animation Studios,
Canonical, DotCloud, Loggly, Revolution Systems, ZeOmega, bitly,

With PyCon 2012 efforts off to a great start, we?re looking for you,
the people of the Python community, so show us what you?ve got. Our
call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) just went out and
we want to include you in our 2012 conference schedule, taking place
March 7-15, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA.

The call covers tutorial, talk, and poster applications, and we?re
expecting to blow the previous record of 250 applications out of the
water. Put together your best 3-hour class proposals for one of the
tutorial sessions on March 7 and 8. Submit your best talks on any
range of topics for the conference days, March 9 through 11. The
poster session will be in full swing on Sunday with a series of 4'x4'
posters and an open floor for attendees to interact with presenters.
Get your applications in early - we want to help you put together the
best proposal possible, so we?re going to work with submitters as
applications come in.

See more details and submit your talks here: http://us.pycon.org/2012/speaker/

We?re also looking for feedback from your past PyCon experiences along
with what you?re looking for in the future, by way of our 2012
Guidance Survey at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pycon2012_launch_survey. The attendees
make the conference, so every response we get from you makes a
difference in putting together the best conference we can.

If you or your company is interested in sponsoring PyCon, we?d love to
hear from you. Join our growing list with Diamond sponsors Google and
Dropbox, and Platinum sponsors Microsoft, Nasuni, SurveyMonkey, and
Gondor by Eldarion. CCP Games, Linode, Walt Disney Animation Studios,

Subject: [Baypiggies] CASS certified Postal Mail Verification free RESTful
	API?
Message-ID: <CA+UBrj799p=jW2rGjD9J47s6MP=sw7G5K39NVjvUhpDtxjv6WA@mail.gmail.com>

I have the need to consume an API service. I'd like it to be an Open
Source/Creative Commons service instead of paying for it.

There are several commercial equivalent RESTful APIs that I could consume.
Some examples follow:

* http://www.cdyne.com/terms/address-standardization.aspx
* http://www.experian.com/small-business/address-verification.jsp
*
http://www1.intelligentsearch.com/address-verification/CA-online-DPV+LACS.htm

The reason I want to consume this service is to verify that if I have a
business from one source and I want to intelligently/programmatically match
that same business from another source, one of the steps in that
validation/verification is to compare addresses.

Half way through looking at this, I think "There's no API to do this. I
could make a Python service to do this as an open source project." Any time
I get in that mode, I usually find someone has attempted it or has a very
successful version of it already running.


Q1) Does anyone know of a package/service that already exists like this --
as a free API?



Q2) If the answer to Q1 is no, then I want to create an open source
project/free service that is consumable by anyone. I am looking for the
original data from the USPS. Does anyone know where I can find it.


I've found other resources, such as these:

This is the US Government certification for evaluation of such software:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_Accuracy_Support_System

A list of software suppliers that already do this:
http://ribbs.usps.gov/files/vendors/cassn01d.TXT

Tech Guidelines:
http://ribbs.usps.gov/cassmass/documents/tech_guides/CASS%20Cert%20Req%20MAILERS%20Guide.pdf

Example Error codes
http://www.ccamedical.com/ZirMed%20Address%20Cass%20Error%20Codes.htm


I'm still trolling through data to find something. I'd hate to do all of
this work if someone else already provides this service. I am also trying to
find the raw address data.

Thanks in advance for any help that you may provide....

Cheers,



Glen

At work we pay a subscription for this.  They send a DVD of updated
information every quarter or so and a toolkit for querying names and
addresses against it, but we're not allowed to just look at the raw
data.

Pitney Bowes offers a service that can do this, but not for free.
Databases of cleaned/standardized names and addresses are pretty
valuable.

Event: PyStar San Francisco: Introduction to Python Web Programming for Women and their Friends
Date: Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (PT)
Location: <b>Mozilla SF</b><br />2 Harrison Street<br />Suite 700<br />San Francisco, CA 94105<br />

------------------------------ 
Event Details:
------------------------------ 

<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ATTENDEES:</span></p>
<p>Would you like to learn Python and Django in a non-alpha geek, 
friendly environment?? Come out to PyStar's San Francisco workshop to 
get started learning this amazingly intuitive programming language.</p>
<p>These workshops are modeled after the RailsBridge "Ruby on Rails for 
Women" courses and are targeted at women who are new to programming, or 
new to Python.? All skill levels &amp; interests welcome. The classes 
are led by volunteers and group size is generally small enough to get lots of help as you learn. </p>
<p>Come with your laptop and volunteers will help you get your development 
environment set up so you can spend a whole day learning Python through a
 variety of projects and exercises.? This workshop is geared towards 
folks who have little to no programming experience at all but there are 
also projects for attendees with prior programming knowledge but no 
Python experience.? </p>
<p>This course is aimed at women so if you do not identify as such we 
ask that you find a woman who wants to learn Python and have her bring you as a guest however no one who wants to learn will be turned away. Please feel 
free to get in touch if you have questions.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">VOLUNTEERS:</span></p>
<p>If you are interested in volunteering please select the volunteer 
ticket type.? I will get in touch to set up a pre-workshop introduction and to get a sense of what you feel comfortable teaching or
 assisting with.</p>
<p>We'll need:</p>
<p>* Teachers who love to explain basic Python and/or Django programming concepts in an friendly, open, and non-knowitall way. Please read http://pystar.org/for_guides.html to ensure this is a good fit for you.</p>
<p>* Assistants - if you're not sure that you are ready to teach, 
assisting students while they work through the curriculum is a good 
place to start and you might be surprised at how much you know and can share</p>
<p>* Setup/Strike &amp; General help: elevator greeters, help with 
getting groups in the right places, if you just want to be there and be 
helpful we want you - maybe you'll even feel up to trying the 
programming :)</p>
<p>Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.</p>

Message-ID: <CAPFNg_0ADCSGphFkyX8-++ozQM_+9dmBr6tkA8EF+e4K3KbhpQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
I'm giving the main talk tomorrow night. It will be on Engage, an open
source deployment platform my company is building. Here's a short
blurb:

Engage is a new open-source, Python-based platform for deploying and
managing applications, either on your own servers or in the public
cloud. It automates server provisioning, application installation,
configuration, and upgrades. The technology behind engage combines
ideas from Linux package managers, constraint solvers, and existing
deployment frameworks such as Puppet or Chef. In this talk, we will
look into the design of Engage, how to use Engage, and how to extend
it. The talk will conclude with a discussion on lessons learned,
including the use of domain specific languages, software evolution,
and testing strategy.

Engage is available under the Apache License at

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,
Jeff Fischer

Hi Gande,

I work for an open source training firm. We definitely do python 
training. Check out: http://marakana.com/

Also, we're releasing free videos from our entire 4-day Python 
Fundamentals Training Course with Simeon Franklin:

Hope that helps!

The ACM Digital Library offers the Safari Version of Python Fundamentals
Live Lessons as a video course.

http://learning.acm.org/books/book_detail.cfm?isbn=9780137021130&type=safari

I _think_ you need to have the ACM library subscription to access it, but
I'm not sure.  It might be accessible to all ACM members
