 PYTHON WORKSHOP
 Date: Tuesday, June 09, 2009
 Time: 6:00pm
 Duration: 2 hours
 Location: NY Public Library Hudson Park Branch, 66 Leroy St., NY NY 10014

 Topics:
   Zed Shaw presents his MTA (Mail Transfer Agent), Lamson, implemented 
   in Python.  Come visit and listen to his experience with using Python
   to create an easy to use, but powerful sendmail replacement.  Visit the
   webpage for his project at http://lamsonproject.org  Lamson's goal is
   to put an end to the hell that is "e-mail application development".
   Rather than stay suck in the 1970s, Lamson adopts modern web
   application framework design and uses a proven scripting language
   (Python).  Avoid aliases forever! Lamson uses friendly regular
   expressions and FSM-based routing.  Lamson uses SQLAlchemy to talk to
   an RDBMS instead of a bizarre combination of flat-files and hashtables!
   Get up and running quickly. Lamson can be installed and running in
   30 seconds.  Lamson is now at the center of Zed's "Python Neglect"
   controversy at http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2009-05-29.html.
   Zed will most likely be able to take questions after the presentation. 

 Description:
   We will continue meeting on a bi-weekly basis at the Hudson Library at
   66 Leroy St New York, NY 10014.

   It is helpful, but not necessary to have a notebook computer.          
   The WiFi at the library works now.                       

 Map & Directions:
   http://nylug.org/pythoncalendar

   We meet in the basement. Enter the library and head to the back. If the
   door is closed when you arrive you can ask the manager of the library for
   the keys to the room if you're comfortable opening up the basement, or
   you can wait for some of the others to arrive.
