After an optional 6pm dinner at Figo Pasta at the corner of Howell Mill Road and Huff Road, we will meet as usual in the spacious and comfortable auditorium of the GTRI Food Processing Building at 7:30pm for our monthly meeting. Expect discussion, problem solving, and talks that introduce aspects of Python both basic (for newcomers) and arcane (to keep the experts awake). Our two main presentations are:
"Nuts and Bolts" — as usual, Brandon Rhodes will share lessons from his recent work on Python projects, including text file line-ending shenanigans, what his Python editing tools are at the moment, and what he likes about the Natural Language Toolkit.
The "Clutch" Web Framework — Rick Copeland will talk about a new web framework he has been playing with, and contrast its features with those of several of the older Python web frameworks.
“ Excellent meeting! Brandon Rhodes made a point of welcoming me to the group and talking with me about my interests and background. Brandon, Rick, Sim and the other professional programmers in attendance were very open and friendly despite my being a newcomer to the language. I found Brandon's and
Rick's presentations to be very valuable - they showed real-world applications for Python. importantly, I was able to meet people who use Python in their work. ”
