(COMPREHENSIVE) INTRO+INTERMEDIATE PYTHON
Mon-Wed, 2009 Nov 9-11, 9AM - 5PM

If you have been in the Python community for some time, you may be
familiar with my introductory (and advanced) courses. Many new Python
intro courses have been added over the past few years, so aren't all
classes the same? Most introductory courses focus on teaching you the
syntax and giving you an idea of a language's flow control and data
types.

However, this can only get your so far. Although our course may appear
to be for those new to Python, it is also perfect for those who have
tinkered with it and want to "fill in the gaps" or desire more
in-depth formal training. It combines the best of both an introduction
to the language as well as covering intermediate language fundamentals
that can make you more effective, even as a beginner.

We will immerse you in the world of Python in only a few days, showing
you more than just its syntax (which you don't really need a book to
learn, right?). Knowing more about how Python works under the covers,
including the relationship between data objects and memory management,
will make you a much more effective Python programmer coming out of
the gate. Daily hands-on labs will help hammer the concepts home.

Come join me, Wesley Chun, author of Prentice-Hall's bestseller "Core
Python Programming," for a comprehensive course coming up this Fall in
beautiful Northern California to get up-to-speed with Python as
quickly and as in-depth as possible!
