Hi all,
As PyCon is down to its last 225 tickets, I wanted to highlight several new and great parts about the conference that may interest you or someone you know. We think PyCon is a great value for our attendees and we’ve added some tutorials and events to get people started in the Python world.
New for 2013 is a two-day event happening March 13th and 14th titled “The Young Coder: Let’s Learn Python,” taught by Katie Cunningham and Barbara Shaurette. This *free* tutorial teaches kids 12 and over the basics of Python and ends with the creation of a game. The kids don’t need to bring anything, as the tutorial will be happening in a lab furnished with Raspberry Pis, and each attendee gets to take home a free book to keep on learning. See https://us.pycon.org/2013/events/letslearnpython/ for more details and reserve your space before it fills up!
We also have two great beginner tutorials on the schedule: Jessica McKellar’s “A hands-on introduction to Python for beginning programmers”, and Dave Beazley’s “Learn Python Through Public Data Hacking.” They’re both great teachers and want to bring attendees to the world of programming via Python. More info about Jessica’s tutorial is at https://us.pycon.org/2013/schedule/presentation/1/. Dave’s tutorial is happening right after Jessica’s, with details at https://us.pycon.org/2013/schedule/presentation/2/.
We’ve also added a set of free workshops hosted by several of our sponsors, available at https://us.pycon.org/2013/schedule/sponsor-tutorials/. These 90 minute sessions give you an intimate setting to hear about the latest goings on with some of the coolest companies in the Python world.
You don’t need to register for the conference to attend our tutorials, so they’re great for locals to get some exposure to Python. Jessica and Dave’s tutorials are $150 each, and the kids tutorial as well as the sponsor tutorials are free!
If you’re interested in attending the conference, don’t hesitate as tickets are going quickly. Check out the full schedule of events at https://us.pycon.org/2013/schedule/ and head to https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/ and get signed up today!
See you in March!
