7:30 pm: General hubbub, inventory end-of-meeting announcements, any first-minute announcements.

7:35 - 8:40 pm: Technical Program

Topic: Newbie Nugget "Container types: using the right one, and using it right!"

Speaker: Alex Martelli

LINKS:

Python "out of the box" offers several container types, both built-in and in standard library modules, and many of these types offer a rich choice of methods and operators -- this is all great, but may make it hard for the newbie to pick the right container type, and use the right methods and operators on the chosen type. A 15-minutes summary of this issue will hopefully be of help!

 

Topic: Python for Nokia S60

Speaker: Robert Schultheis

LINKS:

This talk and Python on mobile demo will provide an overview of Python for S60 and the PyS60 specific libraries  used on mobile devices. You will learn how easy it is to begin programming for mobile devices with Python and see demos and code samples from PyS60 open source applications using device features such as

Bluetooth, GPS and Camera.

 

Python for S60, is Nokia's port of Python for the Series 60 platform, bringing the power and productivity of the Python programming language to S60 mobile devices from Nokia. Python for S60 enables rapid application prototyping and development for mobile devices and provides the ability to create installable stand-alone S60 native UI applications using the application UI framework library.
