[Tutor] Tutorials at PyCon 2008 (US)

[Greg Lindstrom]

Hello Everyone-

I'd like to announce the tutorials sessions for PyCon 2008 (US).  As you may
know, this year PyCon is being held in Chicago, Illinois March 14-16 with
the Thursday before (the 13th) being "Tutorial Thursday".  We are expecting
nearly 600 Python enthusiasts to meet up for the conference and have 29
tutorial sessions scheduled on Thursday in three sessions; morning,
afternoon, and evening.  There is an extra fee to attend a tutorial, but the
sessions are 3 hours long (with a break) and are taught by some of the
smartest cookies in the Python community.  Pop on over to
http://us.pycon.org/2008/about/ for more information

Here's a list of the sessions currently offered (we may cancel a session if
there are fewer than 10 people registered, but that doesn't happen very
often). In particular, note that there are 4 different introduction to
Python tutorials aimed at different audiences.
