The goal of this group is to encourage more mingling, learning and sharing ideas within the Tucson Python community. Everybody is welcome, no matter what your level of Python experience.

We will be organizing presentations and workshops on everything from how to use Python to control the lights in your home, to building web applications which can scale to millions of users.

Advent of Code Pair-Up: Solve & Share
University of Arizona Libraries - Main Library, 1510 East University Boulevard, Tucson, AZ, US
’Tis the season for puzzles! We’ll work through an Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/) challenge together by pairing folks with different experience levels, one more seasoned, one learning, so everyone gets to practice problem-solving, testing, and clean code. After a short kickoff, pairs will tackle a puzzle, then we’ll regroup to compare approaches and trade tips.

We will have pizza and drinks at the event, please bring $2-5 to pitch in.
