Come spend Thursday evening with The Iron Yard to learn more about the Python programming language and get a taste of coding in Python.



Our Python Engineering instructor Joel Taddei will walk you through the basics and then work with you to create a simple program in Python.



This meetup will be broken into 2 sections:



1. Python overview: The first 30 minutes will be an introduction to Python.



• How is it different from other languages?



• What type of applications and problems is it typically used for?



• What resources are available online to learn at home?



• What is The Iron Yard's Python Engineering program like?



2. Python hands-on: The second portion will be about an hour of walkthrough of some basics to get you working with Python right away. A free crash course in Python!



Note: If you will participate in the second segment, please bring a laptop!



This is a free event, intended for an over-18 audience. We’ll provide light refreshments. Tell your friends who are interested in learning about Python - looking forward to seeing you there!
