Raspberry Pi Python Adventures

A little experiment

web.py, the antiframework framework

I'm putting the code up before the actual talk (Monday, the 26th of November), for those who would like to follow along with their laptop. The code again is made available under an MIT license.

Assuming you already have mercurial:

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/fdion/pyptug

If you need to install mercurial first:

debian based

$ sudo apt-get install mercurial

or fedora

$ sudo yum install mercurial

Under solaris, it is available under the packagemanager. On windows or mac you can get it here: http://mercurial.selenic.com/

All those .py scripts and directories will make more sense during the talk, as we dig through them.

I will also post screencam captures later, for those who are not local.

Raspberry Pi: From Kindergartners to MadScientists

That is the title of the talk I will be giving on october 21st, at 4pm, part of the program for PyCarolinas 2012, the first Python conference held in the carolinas ( the states of North Carolina and South Carolina on the southern east coast of the United States, for our international readers).

UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy
Chapel Hill, NC

What:
  PyCarolinas' website



So what is the talk about?

• A quick background on the Raspberry Pi
• How it can be used in education
• Comparison with a typical desktop
• The mad scientist bit (interfacing with hardware)

As far as Python is concerned, there will be setup, demo, explanations of libraries etc and the last part will cover GPIO libraries, some Web.py and other cool bits. Be there or be square.
