I had sent this announcement to the SF-LUG list. If any of y'all want to
learn Python, then come to this! It's been a consistent weekly Monday
thing. It's a little bit slow-paced, so oriented mostly at people without
much programming experience.
I had sent an invitation about this to the NB-discuss list earlier, but
now that I'm actually holding it at NB I figure y'all deserve another
invitation!

Subject: [PYCLASS] NEW LOCATION! 12/8 Chapters 7 and 8
WHERE: Noisebridge (83C Weise St, near 16th & Mission BART)
<http://noisebridge.net>
WHEN: Mon Dec 8 6 PM
WHAT: Community Python learning session: Chapter 7-8
TEXTBOOK INFO: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.html
TEXTBOOK CHAP: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/book008.html (and
the next one)
This week, we focus on iteration, touching on Newton's Method for calculating
square roots. Exercise 4 is what Alex did last week at my urging, writing a
Python intereter.
Exercise 5 would be easier if you know about doctests. (Don't be shy - feel
free to ask!)
WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
A bunch of SF-LUG people have been learning an introduction to programming, and
I've been facilitating. My expectation is to have a fun conversation with
people who have mostly read the chapter, and some of whom (hopefully all!) have
done the chapter's exercises.
WHAT'S THE LOCATION?
Noisebridge is a "hacker space" where people gather to discuss technology and
art or build things. It's a member-supported non-profit, and I think you'll
think it's pretty cool.
KEEP TALKING
I invite you to email me your answers to the exercises, or to discuss on the
list.
See some of you there!
-- Asheesh.

That secret you've been guarding, isn't.
