RSVP using tito.io . On 3/8, we'll select Bay Area's representative on Startup Row. In 2011, Van Lindberg then PyCon chair launched Startup Row with Y Combinator to feature selected early-stage startups for free in the expo hall. Some companies presenting the first year included Solomon Hykes presented Dotcloud that pivoted to become Docker, Andrew Godwin presented Orchard, and Wes McKinney presented Lambda Foundry. Startup Row companies are engineer-founded startups. Our alumni success at exits beats Y Combinator's portfolio by more than 2x. Alumni like Nylas and OfferUp sponsor Pycon. *Judging for the event* on Wednesday are Lisa Dusseault founder of Cathy Labs, Jessica Scorpio founder of Getarounds, Christine Spang founder of Nylas, and Bebe Chueh CMO of Legalzoom. Event will open with Eli Uriegas lead maintainer of Sanic will open with a talk about how his framework uses async. SF Python organizers ask we use ticketing partner tito.io . to avoid delays and help them plan better. Presenting companies: - Ledger (stealth) ?

Message-ID: Hi Python People, March 13 - 16, we have a "Python For Programmers" retreat-style lab class in the daytime at the beautiful UCSC Extension in Santa Clara: Where: http://www.ucsc-extension.edu/content/maps-and-directions-0 What: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5278802 This class is for programmers who are already well-experienced in some other language. No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python. If you are a bit rusty at programming, you might be more comfortable in an evening course that meets once a week so you have some time to absorb the concepts. You'll find those at the same url. Also, an online class is starting soon: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5279301 It officially starts on April 15 but the site will be open for an early start March 14. The online class allow you plenty of time to complete the material, and I'm there encouraging you and answering your questions. ---- All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of relevant exercises, and, we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. Please come, and send students!

Both the courses will cover the most important aspects of Python such as functions, object oriented programming, decorators, generators etc. and will be very hands-on with in-class activities and homework. We will also provide IPython notebook that will contain many examples. We are also introducing a new collaborative learning tool. You can choose to take one of the course according to your schedule. The content and material used in the course are identical. The first course starts on Apr 3rd 2017 and ends on Jun 12th 2017 and will be held every Monday from 6:30pm-9:30 pm. The second course starts on Apr 19th 2017 and ends on Jun 21st 2017 and will be held every Wednesday from 6:30-9:30 pm. To register for either section visit http://course.ucsc-extension. edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID= 1531625&SectionID=5304027 and by selecting either the tab 3064.129 or 3064.130. UCSC Extension is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hence, many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. Join now to become a Pythonista and program in one of the fastest growing language. You can email me at chityala at gmail.com if you have any questions.
