My name is Kevin Veroneau and I am looking for a junior Python developer position preferably on Linux systems. I have been active in the Python community for a couple years now. I mainly program in Djano but have experience with a large number of popular Python packages. I am able to learn and understand a new Python package fairly quickly. I am already able to use all the latest features in Django 1.5. I also have experience in the popular source code management systems including Mercurial, Git, and Subversion. You can see a large amount of my skillset on my Blog: http://www.pythondiary.com/ This blog was built entirely from scratch using the Django framework. Another notable asset I recently launched using RedHat's OpenShift platform is: http://www.uarica.com/ This is a public idea collaboration site with some added Git features such as forking. This was built entirely using Django 1.5 and uses class-based views. It was also built during a single night of work. I also have a bitbucket profile: http://bitbucket.org/kveroneau If you think I would be an advantage to your team. I'd be more than happy to share additional information, my resume, and anything else you may require. Best Regards, Kevin Veroneau -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Engineers, management information systems, and students from some science programs (genetics is one that I recall) have to take the 101 course. Now they seem to have an alternative in place for engineers and scientists, a new intro course that's an acceptable substitute for 1010 called Computing Programming For Scientists and Engineers, COMP 1012: http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/coursedescrip/COMP1012.pdf http://courses.cs.umanitoba.ca/1012F2012 And they're using Python.
