NOTE:This is a single day seminar version of our popular
(Comprehensive) Intro+Intermediate Python course. It is meant as either a complement to that course but for engineering management, project and product managers, technical support, UE/UI designers, release/SCM engineers, etc., or as a standalone seminar. We have delivered this seminar to Infoblox as well as the ACM.
Python is an agile object-oriented programming language that is continuing to build momentum: popular with open source developers as one incarnation of LAMP for applications and web development, especially for Python's web frameworks that are similar to Rails: Django (including Google App Engine), TurboGears, Pylons, Zope and Plone (all RIA platforms), plus Trac and Mailman, the wiki+issue-tracker and popular mailing list manager, respectively. Web developers know about JSON already, but did you know that it maps nearly identically to Python's dictionary/hash type?
Of course Python can do XML/ReST/XSLT for the web too, but there are also numerous libraries for: multithreading, SQL/databases, GUIs, math/science/numerical processing, Internet client/server systems and networking (heard of Twisted?), GIS/ESRI, QA/test, automation frameworks, plus system administration tasks too! If Python doesn't do what you want, you can extend it in C/C++, Java, or C# (and even VB.NET)! Have you noticed the huge growth in the number of jobs on Monster and Dice that list Python as a desired skill?
With Python, you can create just about any app that most modern languages (i.e., Java, C/C++/C#, Ruby, PHP, and Perl) enable, but it's more fun and intuitive! You can code as fast as you think! Because of Python's simple yet robust syntax, it's a great tool to teach programming (heard of Alice?) with as well as a solid (first) language to learn for non-programmers and other technical staff. Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, Cisco, YouTube, BitTorrent, LucasFilm/ILM, VMware, NASA, Ubuntu, and Red Hat all use Python!
Attendees will receive a high-level overview of the Python language, which includes the following topics:
We've designed this seminar for those who are not necessarily engineers or are hands-on code every day but want to find out what Python is all about and what you can do with it! We have had great success and feedback giving an abbreviated one-hour version of this seminar over the past decade, such as at conferences as well as to academia:
PREREQUISITE: Development experience in another high-level programming
or scripting language.
