A PyCon Tutorial Preview in Dallas THIS Saturday

This year, DFW Pythoneers member Paul Kippes has prepared a tutorial for the US PyCon titled:

"Creating GUI Applications in Python using Qt"
http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/sessions/207/

In order to practice giving his tutorial before PyCon, Paul has volunteered to teach it here locally during the upcoming 2nd Saturday meeting, Sat Feb 12, from 2:30pm till 5:30pm.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in building cross-platform GUI apps using Python, as it will provide a introduction to using one of the major GUI frameworks: QT, which is the basis for KDE, as well as many cross platform applications running under Linux, Mac OS, Windows, Symbian, Embedded Linux, Windows Mobile, and Maemo.

Registration is free, but seating is limited, please reserve your spot by emailing Brad Allen and confirm that you will attend. If more than 15 people register, we may need to move it to a different venue, so please let Brad know as soon as possible whether you plan to attend.

Please arrive by 2pm so that the tutorial can start at 2:30pm sharp.

As long as we stay below 15 people, the meeting will be held at the usual DFW Pythoneers meeting location,
