Python Workshop Poster

LUG Manipal is organising a workshop on Python, which is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. It comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.
The workshop requires no prerequisites, even knowledge of C is not required, it is aimed at people interested in beginning programming with Python.
There is no charge for the workshop and no registration is required, everyone is invited.
People using Windows are requested to Install the Following Software before coming to the workshop
1) Python 2.6.1 from here
2) Notepad++ from here

Note: These will also be distributed on the first day of the workshop, If you are not able to install/download them you can get them there…

Both rains and the nuisance created by some members of a certain club taking down our posters in a lot of places contributed to a low turnout, which was around 30. But, this time, I may proudly add, that it felt like what an actual LUG meet should be. All of those present contributed a lot of ideas regarding the future course of events to be organized by the LUG. So we drew up a list of the things on which we will be conducting workshops and talks:

  • Shell scripting on bash
  • Mobile development
  • Yet another installfest including the very important part of configuring the network interfaces
  • Cubing (solving Rubik’s cube)
  • Working with development tools like gcc and vim
  • Basics of assembly language programming

….and a lot more!

Keep looking for our posters in the campus for any upcoming events.

Our main focus will be to promote Open Source Technology for Web Development and Design. This workshop can be viewed as Workshop no 1 covering Module 1 of the total web design workshops we intend to hold.

The content material for this workshop will be basic HTML for getting a start to web programming. The basics of this tagged language can be learnt at W3Schools. We will then advance to the basics of server side and client side scripting and the differences between them. Client side scripting has been put in Module 2 (next workshop) of the whole web design workshop from LUG Manipal.

PHP is the choice of language for Server side Web Design. Those who don’t know much about this language better pay attention. People usually ask “What is PHP? Is it as powerful as ASP?”. Well! Its much more powerful than ASP frankly. You need to know both the languages before comparing them and just making guesses is a bad habit. To make you feel comortable, we would like to tell you that it is one of the most widely deployed technology of these times. Some of the most famous places where its used is Wikipedia, Wordpress (most famous blogging software), most of the Content Management System. Even Google and Yahoo make use of PHP for their pages.

Now turning to MySQL, this is the most widely deployed database software which has more than 5,000 downloads per day as the statistics revealed by MySQL AB. Being the world’s most famous Open Source Database, its bound to be quite attractive. Being a very lightweight database software, its easy to install even on desktops. People usually have a bad experience after installing Oracle as their systems get badly screwed up with reguard to speed. Its very small in size (some 150-200MB) instead of Oracle which is of some 2GB.

The scripting will be done on Apache Web Server, its the world unchallenged king when it come to server deployments, covering some 70%of the webservers. Lightweight, extensibility , great features make it the no 1 choice of web developers all over the world.

More Details of the workshop is:

  • Venue: NLH 204
  • Time: 5:30PM
  • Starts: 25th March Tuesday to 28th March, Friday
