Montréal Python

Last week, Mathieu Perreault and Derek Ruths gave the second McGill Python Workshop. With around 40 attendees, the event was definitely a success and you should expect another workshop soon.

Derek lets us know:

Next week #MTLStartupTalent will be held on monday and aims to connect companies that are hiring with talent looking for employment. Montreal-Python invite you to assist and participate and to demonstrate how dynamic and energetic are the Pythonistas of Montreal-Python.

Here’s what you can expect:

The second instalment of the McGill Python Workshop will be taking place on October 20th, 2011 at McGill University. The first, highly successful workshop focused on teaching the basics of the Python language. This time, instructors Prof. Derek Ruths and myself (Mathieu Perreault) will focus on teaching attendees how to write simple yet very powerful programs while only using the standard Python libraries.

Where: Room 0060, Trottier Building (3630 University)
When: 6PM
How: People are invited to register at http://www.networkdynamics.org/mpw2

Winter is coming, the terraces are closing but Montréal-Python is gearing up for a new (most likely) epic meet!

This time, we’re moving away from societal debates and we go back to Python’s youth in us with a special meet about video games. We’re inviting you all to Harmonious Hacks, Monday October 24th at UQAM (SH-R810) of Pavillon Sherbrooke. Once again, we will be featuring numerous presentations of 5 and 20 minutes about our main theme.

A snack will be served, but don’t count on a full meal. Here’s our schedule for the night:
