Jeremy Hylton's Web LogA techie web log mostly about PythonBlogging at PyCon- March 25, 2005 I've been having a great time at PyCon! Good talk, catching up with lots of friends, and some renewed enthusiasm for the PSF. Greg Stein setup a blog for the Googlers at PyCon. Greg, Chris, Matthew, Will and I have been busy blogging about PyCon. I have more notes I'd like to post but my wrists can't keep up.http://www.python.org/~jeremy/weblog/050325.html PyCon Lightning Talks- March 17, 2005 The lightning talks have always been one of my favorite parts of PyCon. They are an excellent way to start a conversation. It's just enough time to pitch one good idea and get people excited about it. There will be two sessions of lightning talks at PyCon this year -- Thursday after lunch and Friday after lunch. Please sign up for a talk by entering your name in the Wiki.http://www.python.org/~jeremy/weblog/050317b.html What Do I Want to Learn at PyCon- March 17, 2005 PyCon is coming! The most valuable part of the conference is connecting with people and catching up on their lives and work. As there have been more and more good talks, I've gone to fewer and fewer of them.http://www.python.org/~jeremy/weblog/050317a.html Strategy vs. Hook- March 11, 2005 A colleague has reminded me a second time that a strategy object is better than a hook method. In principle, I agree, but somehow I fall back to inheritance and hook methods when I actually start to write the code. I must make a more conscious effort to use composition instead of inheritance.http://www.python.org/~jeremy/weblog/050311.html |
