Practice run for my PyCon tutorial

[Greg Ward]

Hi all --

I'm giving a tutorial at PyCon Canada next weekend, and I'd like to do
a practice run this week. I want to make sure the timing is good, that
it's not too basic and not too advanced, etc.

Can you spare 2 hours (maybe a bit more) to help me improve my
tutorial? The topic is performance, and the target audience is people
who have found their way into a programming career without a formal
computer science education. I'm aiming to fill some of the knowledge
gaps that I often see in that sort of person, so that they can write
faster, better code. If that sounds like you, I would really like to
get your feedback on this tutorial.

If you have a Ph.D. in computer science and eat compilers for
breakfast, you're not in the target audience. However, I would also
like to have some experts in the room to catch mistakes or unclear
bits in my talk.

I would like to do this Wednesday or Thursday evening if I can find a
venue. If you are interested, please let me know. Also, if you know
how I can get a room for this sort of thing -- like the room at
Concordia where the September MP meeting took place -- please let me
know!

Oh yeah, here is the blurb describing the tutorial:

Find and fix your performance bottlenecks. Where should you spend
your time so your users don't have to spend theirs waiting for your
code? Topics covered: algorithmic complexity ("big O" notation);
using the right algorithm for the job; profiling to find the hot
spots; micro-optimization tricks; caching vs. computing; storage
hierarchies; and when/how you should turn to C.

Thanks --

Greg

Hey Greg,

I'd be interested to attend, let me know where it will be unless you send the info on the mailing list.

Keep me informed, Greg! I'm not always as available as I would want,
but I surely will try to attend!

HI Greg:

If it is Wednesday night, I'll attend. Thursday, I drive out to Toronto for Pycon.

Cheers,

Andrew
