Already know Java, Perl, C/C++, Ruby, JavaScript, or PHP,
but want to learn Python because you've been hearing about how Google,
Yahoo!, Lucasfilm/ILM, Ubuntu/Canonical, YouTube, BitTorrent, Red Hat,
NASA, Pownce, VMware, and the OLPC project are using Python? Or perhaps
you've got to implement an upcoming project using Django, TurboGears,
Pylons, Mailman, Zope, or Plone. As long as you have some
experience in any high-level language like the ones listed above plus
a strong desire to learn Python, you are our target audience!
If you are new to Python or already know it but want more formal training
to dig deeper and gain a better understanding of how the interpreter
manages memory, its object model, so that you can be more effective in
Python, this course is for you. It is more than just a "beginners"
course... it is a comprehensive introduction plus a "Python Internals"
course all rolled up into one!! It is designed and developed by a
software engineer for all engineers, QA, Ops/IT/IS staff, and
any technical professsional that has programming skills.
Come join us in beautiful Northern California
for another rigorous Python training event taught by Wesley Chun,
technical instructor, senior software architect, and best-selling
Python author.
You get a resource who
has been developing in Python full-time for the past 10 years.
We can impart best practices and real-life experiences that you cannot
get from "just a trainer" or some engineer who happens to know how to
code in Python.
This daily course will take place near
the San Francisco International Airport at the
Staybridge
Suites by Holiday Inn
with free shuttles to/from the airport and also plenty of parking. Public
transit (BART, CalTrain) is also a short walk or ride away, giving attendees
easy access to/from all of the Bay Area. After the course is over, feel
free to enjoy a weekend in the greatest city by the Bay...
bring your families!!

programming in the Python language, covering the following topics:
Students completing this class should have a good working knowledge of
the core Python language, be able to design and create Python objects,
