Intro to Python workshop

Details
Learn and practice Python basics
This one-day workshop is scheduled for Saturday, April 6. Here's the breakdown:
Saturday (4/6): 9:30-4:30pm
You'll need to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. (See the workshop wiki for more information on laptop setup, lecture material, and projects.)
Audience:
Women and their friends who have no or limited programming experience. This event is welcoming and respectful of trans women. Men who want to learn Python are welcome as guests of women who are attending (please RSVP as well).
We'll set up your development environment and go over some fundamentals of computing and programming on Saturday morning, then spend a good chunk of the day on an introduction to Python, taking breaks to practice concepts through bite-sized lessons. In the afternoon we'll break out into groups to continue writing Python using specific practice exercises.
Our goal is to provide an environment in which women can develop their programming skills with confidence. You'll leave with the resources you need to continue your programming education on your own and with your fellow students. Our staff are predominantly women from the Austin programming and open source communities.
Venue details:
Opportunity Space is a comfortable coworking space in downtown Austin. They've generously offered to give us use of a meeting room and wifi for the day - all you need to bring is your laptop and your enthusiasm to learn!
The address is 2125 East Cesar Chavez St. (east of the 35, c/s Caney St.) and there's plenty of parking.
