[Baypiggies] Study Python Concurrency

Sat Jan 29 02:07:40 CET 2011

Reminder:

SF BayPIGgies... We're going to get together at Noisebridge tonight - very
informally - to discuss and try to understand more from the slides that were
previously presented by JJ:

https://github.com/jjinux/concurrency-200912/raw/master/slides.pdf

I'm heading over early (soon) to meet/greet. You can come late. I'm *not* an
expert and will be asking plenty of questions as I want to learn more about
this material.

If you don't know how to get to NoiseBridge, here's some info:

Maybe see you there...

Cheers,

Glen
