[Chicago] ChiPy Mentorship Program 2015

[Randy Baxley]

Even though I need help with using Python in an actual production of a

mentor because I am a really good basic, ha, progammer.

Of course today one of the best tips I can give a beginner is go take the
Programming for Everyone class, the two beginning classes from U of Toronto
and the Interactive programming clas from Rice offered on Coursera.
