116+
117+
I generally will hold "office hours" at a coffee shop for a couple hours each
118+

126+
Lightning Talks
127+
----------------
128+
129+
Lightning Talks:
130+
131+
* 5 minutes (including setup) - no kidding!
132+
* Every student will give one
133+
* Purposes: introduce yourself, share interests, also show Python applications
134+
* Any topic you like, that is related to Python -- according to you!
135+
136+
We need to schedule them -- let's use Python for that!
137+
138+
139+
Python Ecosystem
140+
-----------------
141+
142+
Python is Used for:
143+
144+
* CS education (this course!)
145+
* Application scripting (GIS, GNU Radio, Blender...)
146+
* Systems administration and "glue"
147+
* Web applications (Django etc. etc. etc.)
148+
* Scientific/technical computing (a la MATLAB, R, .... )
149+
* Software tools (automated software testing, distributed version control, ...)
150+
* Research (natural language, graph theory, distributed computing, ...)
151+
152+
An unusually large number of niches -- versatile
153+
154+
.. nextslide::
155+
156+
Used by:
157+
158+
* Beginners
159+
* Professional software developers, computer system administrators, ...
160+
* Professionals OTHER THAN computer specialists: biologists, urban planners, ....
161+
162+
An unusually large number of types of users -- versatile
163+
164+
You can be productive in Python WITHOUT full-time immersion!
165+
166+
167+
Python Features
168+
---------------
169+
170+
Gets many things right:
171+
172+
* Readable -- looks nice, makes sense
173+
* No ideology about best way to program -- object-oriented programming, functional, etc.
174+
* No platform preference -- Windows, Mac, Linux, ...
175+
* Easy to connect to other languages -- C, Fortran - essential for science/math
176+
* Large standard library
177+
* Even larger network of external packages
178+
* Countless conveniences, large and small, make it pleasant to work with
179+
