Excited about the course, but alittle nervous
Hey Everyone,
Looking forward to jumping in to the Python and learning with you all and Jeff. The materials look great and not too scary. I am a beginning programmer and I've had several classes before (ActionScript and Turing in university). They were tough to learn because I got so frustrated with all the details and I would forget about the big picture. Also, there are so many terms to learn (Genshi? WebOb?)
I'm very happy to think about have you all as a network to help work through things that simply refuse to run as expected.
I'm in the US on Eastern Time and would love to schedule a time weekly to dive into projects. Just let me know and glad to help (and be helped)
cheers,
newman
Welcome!
Genshi is a templating language that we'll use: http://genshi.edgewall.org/
WebOb is a request/response object that will make writing web services much easier: http://pythonpaste.org/webob/ . It is used in frameworks like pylons, though we're just going to be using it standalone for the most part. Also, WebOb 1.0 was released yesterday! Perfect timing.
