hello,

sounds like great fun.  See you all there.

I could contribute a 'pygame in 10 minutes' little coding session demo
if there's time and interest.


cheers,

I'm _very_ interested.

Also, in the future (2010 :-) ) I can prepare Python+Qt (step by step
from nothing to something very simple, in 10 min. or something like
this)

Hi René,

Yup, there is time *and* interest - I've just updated the signup page and 
you're booked! :-)

Looking forward to meeting you and hearing your talk!

Nicholas.

Hi Carles,

Python+QT sounds very interesting. It'd be good if we could organise an evening 
of Python+(insert UI toolkit here) talks so we can compare and contrast. Even a 
handful of short (10-15 minute) introductions followed by some practical coding 
on a shared outcome (i.e. everyone attempts to implement some easy task) would 
be a lot of fun and good "educational" value.

Any takers on other UI toolkits..? I can think of tk (comes as standard in 
Python), GTK, wxWindows and QT... any more...?

Nicholas.

it's like it sounds, for lot of reasons. In my daily work I program in
C++ and Qt, and I have done something in Pyqt some time ago.  If we want
someone real Pyqt expert, the people who is doing Pyqt is from UK:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/news

(plus Nokia starting a similar project with different license...)

I didn't think about it, but we could define a simple task (e.g. phone
book manager) and implement with different tookits. That could be very
nice.
