Project & Tutorial Night w/ Mentors

What is it?

This is an opportunity for you to bring a project / tutorial and receive guidance from one of the mentors that will be roaming the room. You can bring a project in any language or framework, and we'll do our best to help you along. If you don't know what to work on, or don't have a project, we can get you pointed in the right direction.

Other Details?

Be sure to bring an ID, because they'll check it at the door. We may have food, depending on our sponsorship situation -- details forthcoming.

Resources?

If you are new to programming, you could try Learn Python the Hard Way (http://learnpythonthehardway.org/).

If you want some intermediate projects created for educational purposes, try these one's (https://openhatch.org/wiki/Intermediate_Python_Workshop/Projects) from OpenHatch (http://openhatch.org/)(you should also read about OpenHatch (https://openhatch.org/wiki/About_OpenHatch) if you're new and interested in Open Source). OpenHatch also has a list of "bite-sized" bugs (http://openhatch.org/search/?q=&toughness=bitesize&language=Python) for beginners. There's also a cool mentoring project that's worth looking into called Learn Programming (http://learnprogramming.github.com/).

You can find a list of intro, advanced, and reference Python books (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks) from the python.org wiki.
