PYPTUG Monthly Meeting Feb. 28th (new python stuff, c, c++ and fortran)

Come join PYPTUG at out next monthly meeting (February 28th 2017) 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. Monthly meetings are in addition to our project nights.



What

Meeting will start at 6:00pm.

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

We will cover briefly some of the new features found in Python 3.6 (and maybe one or two in Python 3.5 you might not have discovered yet).

Then on to the main talk. Philip Semanchuk will help us to be polyglot programmers.

 
Main Talk: Python, C, C++, and Fortran Relationship Status: It’s Not That Complicated
by Philip Semanchuk of PySpoken LLC
Bio:
I started writing BASIC on a TRS-80 and have been building software ever since using everything from C to Visual Basic to Python. For the past several years, I’ve been a freelancer focused on Python, especially where it meets C and other compiled languages but also for Django work. Some of my clients are Fortune 50 companies and others have just a handful of employees.
In the past, I have given talks at PyCarolinas, PyOhio, PyData, and the Triangle Python Users Group. This is my first opportunity to speak to the Python Piedmont Triad UG, and I’m grateful for the invitation.
Currently I’m using Python to perform etymology-focused lexical analysis. It’s a subject I know very little about, so I’m glad NLTK exists to hold my hand! Later this year I hope to use Python to collect data from a photovoltaic solar system that’s installed where I live.
You can learn more about me at http://PySpoken.com where I also have a blog (http://blog.PySpoken.com)
Abstract:
One of Python’s strengths is that it can use code written in compiled languages like C, Fortran and C++.

This talk gives an overview of your many options for getting Python to call and exchange data with code written in a compiled language. The goal is to make attendees aware of choices they may not know they have, and when to prefer one over another.

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.
Some are already lined up.
