Table of contents (in chronological order)

Yahoo - March 1999
A generic introductory talk I gave on a visit to Yahoo, Inc.

WWW8: Python - May 1999.
A short talk about Python for developers' day at the Toronto WWW8 conference.

WWW8: open source - May 1999.
Another short talk, about running an Open Source project, for developers' day at the Toronto WWW8 conference.

JPF001 - May 1999.
A longer introductory talk I gave at the First French Python Day in Paris.

HP training - July 1999.
An intensive course for a group of more experienced Python developers at the Hewlett-Packard e-speak group, designed to give their coding skills and style a boost. Thanks to HP for allowing me to place this on the web.

The State of Python - 23 August 1999.
Opening address of the Python track at the O'Reilly Open Source Software Conference in Monterey.

IDLE - 24 August 1999.
IDLE - An Integrated DeveLopment Environment in and for Python - presented at the O'Reilly Open Source Software Conference in Monterey.

CP4E - 9 October 1999.
A presentation on Computer Programming for Everybody (CP4E) that I gave at the student conference of the ACM student chapter at the University of Illinois.

Python Workshop - 10 October 1999.
A Python tutorial that I gave at the student conference of the ACM student chapter at the University of Illinois.

Using Python for CGI Programming - 12 November 1999.
A brief generic Python tutorial followed by a tutorial on CGI programming using Python and a case study. These are the slides that I used at Software Development '99 East in Washington, DC. I never got to present the case study part, and the tail of both prior tutorials had to be cut off due to time constraints (ain't I bad :-). So here is all the material I had presented. Note that these are entirely different slides than the ones on the SD'99 website -- that was a longer tutorial plus some advanced Python material without any of the CGI material.
