We will take a practical tour of Python, with an emphasis on using the language to solve problems in data analysis, performance, systems administration, and network programming. The emphasis will be on solving real-world problems.
Although this will not be a lab, you should have Python 3.3 installed on your laptop if you want to follow along. Go to python.org to download and install the version appropriate for your operating system.
Who should attend:
Programmers who want to use the Python programming language and understand how it can be applied to practical problems in data analysis, system administration, systems programming, and networking. No prior Python knowledge is required, but attendees should already be experienced programmers in at least one other programming language such as C, C++, Go, Java, Perl, or Ruby.
Take back to work:
An understanding of the Python language and how it can be used to solve your problems on a daily basis.
