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,

COhPy: Writing and Using Django Reusable Apps (For Beginners)

The Central Ohio Python Users Group is starting its second year with a bang. With over 100 members in the meetup, and regularly 20+ in attendance, as well as a weekly "Dojoe", the Central Ohio Python Users Group has something for every Python or aspiring Python programmer.

On January 31 at 6:30pm at TechColumbus, Isaac Kelly, who gets paid to write Python every day (lucky guy!), will be presenting the reusable app paradigm of Django by example. Django is designed so that you can easily create and reuse components. He will be walking through an example project, which places to use reusable components of projects like Pinax, and which areas to go off on your own.

Topics Covered:

• Users
• Authentication
• Profiles
• Email Management
• Making Models
• Generic Views
• Admin customizing
• On-Site editing with Servee (because I really can't resist ;)

Our ATOM (Austin's/Awesome Thing Of The Month) talk this month will be on "Mobile Devices for Python Users" by Vijay Shan.

If you are in the central Ohio area on January 31, come join us!
