July chiPy Meeting
Adrian Holovaty presented Django last night, in a sort of sneak preview for it’s release this week. Django clearly has a lot of features that will be welcome to Python web development. There were actual oohs and ahhs from the group during the presentation.
Ian Bicking presented some functional programming techniques for Python. It was a good talk, which led to a lot of interruptions and general discussion. With any other group, interruptions are a problem, with the chiPy group it’s usually a good thing.
Lastly, we decided on a title for the first run of the book club. For now, I’m just linking to Martin Maney’s post explaining the title and some first steps. We’re going to open the club up to anyone, regardless of your opinion on Python (or Chicago) so if you’re interested watch the wiki.
