===============================================<br>
<br>
Need to get up-to-speed with Python as quickly as possible? Come join<br>
me, Wesley Chun, author of Prentice-Hall's bestseller "Core Python<br>
Programming," for another comprehensive intro course plus a 1-day<br>
Internet programming course coming up in November in beautiful<br>
Northern California! I look forward to meeting you!<br>
<br>
(Comprehensive) Introduction to Python<br>
Mon-Wed, 2008 Nov 10-12, 9am-5pm<br>
<br>
Internet Programming with Python<br>
Sat, 2008 Nov 15, 9am-5pm<br>
<br>
courses can be taken separately or combined for a discounted price.<br>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br>
(COMPREHENSIVE) INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON<br>
<br>
Although this course may appear to those new to Python, it is also<br>
perfect for those who have tinkered with it and want to "fill in the<br>
gaps" and/or want to get more in-depth formal training. It combines<br>
the best of both an introduction to the language as well as a "Python<br>
Internals" training course.<br>
<br>
We will immerse you in the world of Python in only a few days, showing<br>
you more than just its syntax (which you don't really need a book to<br>
learn, right?). Knowing more about how Python works under the covers,<br>
including the relationship between data objects and memory management,<br>
will make you a much more effective Python programmer coming out of<br>
the gate. 3 hands-on labs each day will help hammer the concepts home.<br>
<br>
Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, ILM/LucasFilm, VMware, NASA,<br>
Ubuntu, YouTube, and Red Hat all use Python. Users supporting or<br>
jumping to Plone, Zope, TurboGears, Pylons, Django, Google App Engine,<br>
Jython, IronPython, and Mailman will also benefit!<br>
<br>

INTERNET PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON<br>
<br>
This is a one-day course with lecture and lab exposing attendees to<br>
FOUR distinct areas of Internet programming:<br>
<br>
* Network Programming using Sockets -- we introduce client/server<br>
architecture and how to program sockets using Python.<br>
<br>
* Internet Client Programming -- we learn how to use Python's standard<br>
library to create FTP, NNTP, POP3, and SMTP clients<br>
<br>
* Web Programming -- before you jump on all the web framework<br>
bandwagons, it's a good idea to learn basics and the basis of how all<br>
web servers deliver dynamic content back to the client browser to<br>
prepare you better when jumping to a full-stack web framework<br>
<br>
* Intro to Django -- a lightweight introduction to the Django web<br>
framework including whipping up a very simple blog application in<br>
20min!<br>

This job is in the Bay Area, as in San Francisco...but they are apparently open to remote work.<br>
<br>
Here are some details:<br>
<br>
========================================<br>
<br>
<br>
Job Description:<br>
<br>
<br>
TIBCO Python Requirements Summary<br>
<br>
Need the ability to connect to a TIBCO server natively using Python. The Python TIBCO interface must be able to query for available servers and server clusters, create connections and sessions, and feed messages to queues and topics. The implementation must be fault tolerant and inform calling libraries of errors and / or throw consistent exceptions that can be caught and handled by Orbus?s higher level libraries.<br>
<br>
Functional Requirements<br>
<br>
The module must be able to:<br>
<br>
? connect to a TIBCO server using TIBCO?s URL format<br>
? create a session to a named queue on the server.<br>
? create a message producer with a given session.<br>
? easily fill a TIBCO EMS Map Message with key value pairs.<br>
? send a filled Map Message to a TIBCO server.<br>
? shut down a connection.<br>
? work with TIBCO?s built in failover and load balancing functionality.<br>
<br>
Internal note: Python and C++ are musts and really it sounds like the JMS is needed as well. Our client said that there are about a dozen C++ APIs out of the box with JMS and they aren't scalable. They need some industrial strength Python calls so will be porting functionality to Python. Looking for candidate to come up with time estimate.<br>

Hello everybody<br>

It looks like it's too late to have a meeting this month, so I propose we meet on Thursday June 11th at the West L.A. location of Technical Connections. Same place as in April, same time (7 PM to 9 or 9:30 PM).<br>
<br>
Please reply to this message if the time and place works for you. Also, if you would like to present at the meeting, please let me know. We need a couple of presenters.<br>
