PYPTUG meeting - April 29th

PYthon Piedmont Triad User Group meeting


Come join PYPTUG at out next meeting (April 29th 2013) to learn more about the Python programming language, modules and tools. Python is the perfect language to learn if you've never programmed before, and at the other end, it is also the perfect tool that no expert would do without.


What

Meeting will start at 5:30pm.

We will open on an Intro to PYPTUG and on how to get started with Python, then with News from the community, PYPTUG activities and members projects.

Main talk:  CPython with Visual Studio





The main talk this month will be of interest for all those who are ASP.NET or C# programmers looking to expand their tool set, and all those who use Windows for Python development or deployment:






Will Sams will talk about Python development under Windows, using Python Tools for Visual Studio.






Lightning talks!


We will have some time for extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration. If you'd like to do one, some suggestions of talks were provided here, if you are looking for inspiration. Or talk about a project you are working on.


We'll then wrap up the meeting.
