A very thorough overview of the Python programming language. While I won't be switching from PHP anytime soon, it was great learning about another language!

I don't think you could pack anymore information or enthusiasm into an hour! Obviously put a lot of work into the presentation -Thank You. Afterwards, I realized where all the Kool-Aid went . . . Nowell drank it:)
In my dream world, it would have been great to have a follow-up session showing Python 'in action' under different scenarios so you could get the basics in the first, then see how peeps have used it's generalized nature to make their (programming) lives happier, better looking, etc. Hmmmm . . .

Nowell - nice job cranking through Python - what makes it unique (indentation matters!) and what's familiar - what makes it powerful (functional programming anyone?) and where it's ugly (the 2.7/3.0 incompatible version schism in play at the moment). You did this while also handling a barrage of questions and maintaining high energy at the end of a looooong day.
