[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Python Web Programming Workshop

[Tripta Gupta]

Speaking of which, I've been working my way through Zed Shaw's "Learn
Python the Hard Way" and am wondering if there's anyone else on this
list that is learning Python and would be interested in starting a
study group of some sort. We could start with meeting up a couple times a
week, code together, ask questions, share projects, etc. Sometimes
I'll attend Aditya's PyClass to ask questions, but would like to be in
a group that meets more regularly.

Eventually I'd like to participate in developing a Python community in
SF that has goals similar to that of Railsbridge but I figure reaching
out to the
Noisebridge group might be a good place to start.

Get in touch if you're interested!
