Already know Java, C/C++, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP or Perl,
but want to learn Python because you've heard that it's much more fun
and intuitive? Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, Lucasfilm/ILM,
Pixar, VMware, NASA, YouTube, Ubuntu/Canonical, Slide, Cisco, BitTorrent,
and Red Hat all use Python. Perhaps you have to develop or support an
project using Java/Jython, Django, TurboGears, Pylons, Google App Engine,
Mailman, Zope, or Plone... you will benefit as well!
Python is rapidly gaining momentum worldwide and seeing more new users each
year. While similar to other languages, it differentiates itself with a
robust yet simple syntax which allows for a much shorter development time
and improved group collaboration; and in many situations, presents a viable
and advantageous alternative because of its ease-of-use, rapid development
time, and innate nature of encouraging group collaboration.
As well-known Open Source advocate Eric Raymond
wrote once,
"[You're] writing working code nearly as fast as you can type and your
misstep rate is near zero...." And even famed C++ and Java author
Bruce Eckel has admitted that he loves Python:
"I believe that Python is one of the best possible choices for building a
system -- you can create the system faster than anything that I know of...."
Come join us in beautiful Northern California
for another rigorous training event with hands-on labs taught by technical
instructor, senior software architect, and technical book author, Wesley
Chun, for developers wanting to learn or enhance their Python skills now!
This course is designed and developed by a software engineer
for software engineers. We can impart best practices and real-life
use cases experiences that you cannot get from "just a trainer" or through
a local college.
This course provides a complete and comprehensive introduction to
the Python language, covering these beginner and intermediate topics:
Attendees completing this class should have a good working knowledge of
the core Python language, be able to design and create Python objects,
classes and modules, as well as have the ability to build a variety of
tools and applications. Students will also be prepared to delve deeper
into language fundamentals as well as tackle specific areas of
application development taught in the following course,
Advanced
Python Programming.
PREREQUISITE: Development experience in another high-level programming
or scripting language.
REQUIRED SOFTWARE: Attendees should preinstall Python if possible
(2.3 and newer). You can use any of the following implementations:
the standard C version, Jython (Java), IronPython (.NET/Mono), etc.
REQUIRED HARDWARE: A laptop/notebook or otherwise portable computer
is required for the course exercises. Attendees may use any platform
where Python is available. Bring your power cord! A network or
wireless card is optional but useful in case you wish to connect to
the Internet from your hotel/room.
