Kenneth Reitz pinged me to ask if we are still accepting talks for next
week to see if he can give a talk.

Do we have spots? No one has mentioned a talk yet, so I hope so.

I am looking for companies that want to be a video sponsor.  You get your
logo on the title slide of the videos (however many video's get made this
month) and the warm fuzzy of supporting me.

This month will be Kenneth Reitz:

"""
Kenneth Reitz is the product owner of Python at Heroku and a fellow at the
Python Software Foundation.
... many open source software projects,
specifically Requests: HTTP for Humans.
"""   - http://www.kennethreitz.org/about
Requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
other cool stuff: http://www.kennethreitz.org/projects

How much?  $1500 is what it would cost to hire a professional.  If you want
to give me that, great!  Otherwise I'll take the top 3 offers I get by
Tuesday morning.

If you need some hard numbers to get approval, let me know and I'll dig
them up.  Kenneth is well known, so I expect he hit counts to be hit 10K in
the first few months.

Hi all,

I've got the meeting listed on pyvideo.org now. If the presenters have
materials they'd like to share, I can add links to them on the page too.

The December meeting will be at Braintree's new office on the 8th Floor of
the Merchandise Mart.

RSVPs are now open: http://www.chipy.org/

We have two talks so far, but can potentially fit one more. You can propose
one at http://www.chipy.org/meetings/topics/propose

Our first talk will be by Kenneth Reitz, author of Requests, PSF Fellow,
and product owner of Python at Heroku. His talks are listed at
http://www.kennethreitz.org/talks/ -- let us know which you'd like to see!

The second is by Tanya Schlusser:

A lightning look at O'Reilly's Python books

Wouldn't it be awesome if ChiPy wrote its own book? We'd be able to get
BEvERages for weeks, maybe months on the royalty! If so, we'd need to see
what's already out there.
This lightning talk takes a look at O'Reilly's Python books using requests
and BeautifulSoup, with a little of scipy's hierarchical clustering on the
book descriptions. It is presented in an iPython notebook.

record Kenneth's talk. Hopefully $150 helps out :) Let me know the deets!

The flasky talk seems like a good choice for a user group meeting. It
covers the philosophy of api design and preferring composition but includes
some technical details, and contrasts flask to django. more techy stuff is
good for a user group versus pure high concept stuff that make great
keynotes.

But pretty much I would enjoy any of the talks. I haven't seen the
documentation at scale talk before. That one looks excellent.

If he covers 12 factor apps, someone should follow up with a lightning talk
or open space chit chat about managing secrets, since I've never felt
satisfied with how I do that and would like to hear about commonly used
techniques.

Yes, I'd love to see either the 12-factor, API-driven development, or the
flask talks. I agree that these all look great and I am really excited to
Kenneth talk.

I'd love to see the '12 Factor App' or 'Documentation at Scale' but agree
any would be great.

Sheila, maybe if it's the '12 Factor App' we can get a lightning reprise of
"The Chicago Process: How Braintree Develops Software" since we'll be at
Braintree anyway.

Looks like http://www.kennethreitz.org/talks/#/the-12-factor-app/ has the
most love.
Is anyone against asking him to do 12 Factor App ?

Here is what I counted as votes:

Sheila: flasky, documentation at scale looks excellent, 12 Factor App

Adam B: love to see either the 12-factor, API-driven development, or the
flask talks

Tanya: love to see the '12 Factor App' or 'Documentation at Scale'

Cezar: api driven development.

flasky 2
doc at scale 2
12 factor 3
api driven development 2

Aaron Swartz believed that you literally ought to be asking yourself all
the time:
"What is most important thing I could be working on in the world right now,
and if you're not working on it, why aren't you?"

Hi,

This is Veyepar, the automated video processing system.

Please review the following meta data about your talk so that mistakes can be corrected now and not after the video has gone live.

Released: True
Permission has been given to record your talk and post it online.



The video will be titled with the following image:
http://veyepar.pyvideo.cdn.nextdayvideo.com/veyepar/chipy/dec_2014_loop/titles/A_lightning_look_at_OReillys_Python_books.png

The main page for the video will be here:
http://www.pyvideo.org/video/3371/a-lightning-look-at-oreillys-python-books 


Problems with the text should be fixed in the event database that drives: http://www.chipy.org/ 

If everything looks good, you don't need to do anything. Good luck with your talk; expect another email when the video is posted.

Your talk is scheduled for Dec. 11, 2014, 8 p.m. in the room called Braintree *new* HQ and you have been allotted 15 minutes. The event organizers will give you instructions on how to check in before your talk.  

Please bring what is needed to hook your laptop up to good old 15 pin VGA.  We may have an adaptor, but don't count on it, someone may have taken it.

Whoops, side effect of "notify the list when videos are posted" request.
Or something.  I'm not actually sure why I used the list's email.

follow NextDayVideo to see when the vids go up.

Subject: [Chicago] Python Project Night this Thursday
Message-ID: <CAHCs_raKvt4Gytp-TkvuWmeMRtDhUwpvHz=9U=ci6OCtmKaYcg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Python Project Night is this Thursday at the Braintree offies.


Come work on Python projects, get programming help, help others, and hang
out. Everything is self-paced. Bring your own project or work on one of the
suggested projects below. Everyone is welcome, all skill levels are
encouraged. Friendly people will be here to help beginning Python
programmers with language basics and practice. If you prefer to work on
things on your own, that is okay too!

Things to bring: a wireless-enabled laptop and power cord.

Some of us chat on #pythonprojectnight on freenode. It is handy for sharing
links to information and pastebins. If you don't have an irc client, you
can connect to the channel via a web client, like #pythonprojectnight
<https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/?nick=pyproj%7C?#pythonprojectnight>

 *Projects*

http://bit.ly/intermediate-python-projects Practice the language and
practical Python applications through bite-sized projects with scaffolding
provided.

http://newcoder.io/ NewCoder is for when you get to the point where you say
?Well, I worked through this beginner book. Now what?? It  has tutorials on
Data Visualization, APIs, Web Scraping, Networking

*Tutorials*

http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/

*Interactive Tutorials*

Subject: [Chicago] NetBeans python project seeks testers and developers
Message-ID: <CAHCs_rat1v1WCZyFZiic2qavxYx71DR+zFN5bgegfe74Ow3WMg@mail.gmail.com>

At last night's project night, Lou Dasaro announced a project to start
development for a python plugin for NetBeans.

The NetBeans wiki has more details

https://netbeans.org/projects/python/pages/Home

Python Project

Welcome to the Python Project wiki. This project aims to update Python
support for NetBeans to (1) meet the Quality Criteria for NetBeans plugins,
and (2) add new functionality going forward.

"This is a community-driven effort. Oracle does not actively participate in
or directly support this effort."

The current high-level development plan can be found here.

if you are interested in contributing, either as an Engineer, Analyst or
Tester, please email the Project Leader, Lou Dasaro, at the address shown
on the development plan Alternatively, you can subscribe to nbpython-dev
(at) netbeans {dot} org and send your request there. Join us, won't you?

There are several other pages at NetBeans.org that Python folks may find
useful:

Most people will just need to consult http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python .

To see the current list of open issues, visit Bugzilla

To learn about developing NetBeans modules, visit this page

To learn about building from sources (a lot of code!) visit
WorkingWithNetBeansSources

(more to come...)

Message-ID: <CAHAYLgoRbsxONDaat-LFPx0BDG2LFyT6VdK9H6tedpOUDscL6w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know about an upcoming MongoDB & Python course.

MongoDB for Python Developers
<https://university.mongodb.com/courses/M101P/about> is a free, online
course and to date, we?ve seen over 250,000 developers and ops
professionals participate. The next class starts January 6th but you can
register for it now.

Classes run for 7 weeks and each week we release lesson videos accompanied
by quizzes and homework assignments and a final exam at the end. It?s a
great learning experience because you can review the materials at your own
pace but also have the help of other students and MongoDB engineers who
answer questions in the course?s forums.

This is a great opportunity to learn MongoDB. It?s the the fastest growing
database and a highly sought after credential with hiring managers and
recruiters.

Visit MongoDB University
<https://university.mongodb.com/?utm_source=education&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=java+user+groups&utm_content=&utm_term=>
for more information and sign up for the course at the M101P page
<https://university.mongodb.com/courses/M101P/about>.

Thank you and have a great holiday season!

Hi all,

I had some questions about recommended reading for next steps as a
developer, specifically in Python.  For some context, I'm a computer
science student preparing to graduate and I'm looking to learn more and
grow my understanding of Python and how it can be used.  I've used Python
for web applications, some basic scripting, and a few other small
applications.

I've read Code Complete, and I'm currently in the process of reading the
Pragmatic Programmer, however I'm looking for a more technical book to
expand my toolset and skillset.  Are there any good Python books that you
would recommend as an aspiring software developer?  Or any books that you
read when you were first getting started that helped a lot? I'm pretty open
to reading anything that will help!

Thank you! Let me know if there's any other things that would be helpful to
know in making book recommendations as well :)

Phil

Once you've gone through Design Patterns (or Code Complete), you're
probably going to dig more into whatever particular niche you'd like to
work with, imo.  At a certain point, it's more about learning the nuances
of the tools and libraries.

If you're planning on making a career out of this, "The Mythical Man Month"
is a classic book about building things with teams, and "The Peter
Principle" is a still relevant satire about how organizations become
dysfunctional.

"I'm looking for a more technical book to expand my toolset and skillset."

What do you mean by "technical"? To me technical brings to mind two areas,
the mathematical side and the electrical engineering side of software. Both
are worthy disciplines. You could simultaneously dip your toes into both
waters by exploring Cython, it's a little closer to the metal.
Mathematically "Concrete Mathematics" is a popular book.

As Japhy pointed out, there's a human side of software too. Two sides, in
my opinion. One is working with other people to build things. The other is
psychological, we write software to be **used** by people. So understanding
how people think, and what they like critically important. "A Year Without
Pants" would be a good read.

Technical could also mean books that go in to details about source code,
architecture, specific design considerations versus soft books like The
Pragmatic Programmer.

Would anyone recommend the Seven ___ in Seven Weeks series? e.g.
https://pragprog.com/book/pb7con/seven-concurrency-models-in-seven-weeks

I haven't worked through them all.

My last class in algorithms was over a decade ago, so I'm slowly working my
way through Python Algorithms (
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Algorithms-Mastering-Language-Experts/dp/1430232374
).

I can definitely recommend it, particularly if you're going to graduate
soon and are going to be preparing for job interviews where you will
probably be asked questions about algorithms. The book is quite readable.

Only for this crowd, ;-)

Here is an extract of my book:
http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Algorithms-Python-Applications-Physics/dp/0991160401

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18065445/Tmp/annotated_extract.pdf

The extract only includes 60 pages with the very basic algorithms normally covered in an intro class on algorithms.

The format of the book is very concise. It only provides implementation examples and very brief description of the algorithms themselves.
Focus is on applications. Some chapters are assembled from lecture notes from courses I gave at DePaul (CSC321, CSC431, CSC521, and CSC503). Most of the book software can be found here: https://github.com/mdipierro/nlib

Philip,

If I could only take one book with me on a desert island to get better 
at programming it would be Skiena, The Algorithm Design Manual. This 
book just crushed it for me. I consider it a journeyman's course for 
software development.

Taking only one Python book would be almost impossible. ;) These three 
are the ones I reference the most.

     The Python Standard Library By Example - (This is really nuts and 
bolts for the Python language)
     Mastering Object Oriented Python - ( Everything's an object! ;))
     Learning Python Design Patterns - (Great initial exposure to design 
pattern programming)

Geoff
