The ACCU is once again hosting a UK Python Conference on the above dates at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford. Sign up now.....
http://www.accu.org/index.php/conferences/2006/schedule PROGRAMME ========= I am happy to announce that Guido van Rossum is once again a keynote speaker for the entire ACCU conference. Following his keynote we have a single, 2-day Python track on Wednesday and Thursday including... Steve Holden: The Best of PyCon Michael Hudson: Error Handling with Recovery Phil Thompson: PyQT 4 Michael Hudson: PyPy - a progress report Simon Willison: Django Remi Delon: CherryPy and TurboGears Chris Withers: Templating systems Andy Robinson: Metadata and models in Python Andrew Thompson: Financial Programming in Python ...and of course lightning talks and BOFS will be welcome.... Friday 21st will feature a Dynamic Languages track with in-depth talks on Javascript, Ruby and Groovy, which I am sure will be of great interest to Python developers; and of course the dinner. PRE CONFERENCE PYTHON TUTORIAL: =============================== John Pinner will be giving a full day "Python for Programmers" tutorial on Tuesday prior to the main event. This tutorial is aimed at programmers who have no previous knowledge of Python but who would like to know more about it. If you want to convert your colleagues, this is where to send them.... ABOUT THE ACCU CONFERENCE ========================= For those not familiar with the event, the ACCU conference is one of the foremost gatherings of programming talent in the world, regularly featuring authors and major figures from the C/C++/C#/Java/Python and other communities. The cheapest way to attend is to join the ACCU This will be the LAST CHANCE to attend this fantastic event; after more than 5 years of being nurtured by the ACCU, the UK Python community will hopefully be organising a standalone conference in future years. Python talks will continue to be welcome (and we hope numerous) on the ACCU programme, but not as an advertised "mini-conference"; instead we'll be shifting focus to dynamic languages in general.
