The Chicago Google office volunteered to host and feed the Python meeting this month. Everybody I say this to, says “I didn’t know that Google had a Chicago office!?!” as if Google should make a full page annoucment when they open an office somewhere. I admit, I went partly to see what it was like and Python is on my radar of languages to learn next.
Brian Ray talked about operator overloading in Python, which is always cool to overload something. Then the Google guys gave an overview of Google Code and touched on things like Big Tables (of which I knew nothing). Then my buddy Jason Huggins (Selenium guy) talked about Selenium and showed off his freaking cool MAC laptop and virtual machines. I have got to see if I can do that on mine.
I had to leave early to catch the 9:20 train.. but such is life.
