Python Training

I’m pretty pleased with the Python training class that I’m in the midst of this week. Mark Lutz, the instructor, is low-key and affable and presents concepts pretty well. The one downside is my lack of programming background – a lot of concepts are easily explained in terms of other languages, which I don’t know. But even so I feel like I’m keeping up, if only just.

This afternoon we began classes and OOP, which have been a big mental hurdle for me. But I think I’m starting to get a handle on it. Tomorrow we’ll go deeper on classes, plus talk about Zope and Internet scripting before I have to cut out early to catch my flight back to BWI. I’ve already cleaned up some smaller scripts that I’ve written and look forward to doing more. That’s a good sign.
