Dear community, Let me ask here please. I'm a first-year PhD student in Ireland. My background is in mathematics, though I'm going to stream my career into programming with Python, Java and C++ languages. I have some good experience with C++ what allowed me to have a presentation in Europe quite recently - I participated in an open-source cloud computing project. I used Python a little bit in that project, though mainly it was in C++.
I was reading a beautiful "Thinking in Java" book this summer while looking for a PhD. I have no experience in Java. I learned some Python while writing a website based on Django. I know some other auxiliary tools like Git, SVN, SQL, XML and javascript. Now... I really want to find a job, but there is no interesting job on the market or my skills are not enough to get one. So I really want to learn Python and Java in parallel by reading books (have already chosen proper ones), searching google (got used to it) and most important writing code and thus I think to participate in an open- source project again. Could you please list me 2 or 3 projects in Python and/or Java which are currently active (vivid) and useful? Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
