Getting the Most Out of PythonKC

Learning Python

• PythonKC is not here to teach you Python for free (sorry; not sorry).
• PythonKC is here to help you learn Python.

Help us help you.

• Don't ask "How do I do x?"
• Instead, say "I've tried x, y, and z. I'm gettning these specific errors. What am I missing?"
• Don't email us your Python code (or paste large blocks in Slack). Send links to GitHub gists instead.

But I don't know how to use GitHub!

• Good Resources for Learning Git and GitHub
• Ask Caleb or Chip; we will help you get started.

Meet People Who Like Python

• Introduce yourself.
• Give a talk (i.e. a presentation).
• Join the PythonKC Slack.
  • Please give your real name, though. We like to know who we're talking with.

Meetup.com

• Meetup.com is not the greatest, but it's biggest player in the meet likeminded people space.
• Use the PythonKC discussion boards.
  • Looking for a job (or to hire someone)? There's a PythonKC Job Board.
  • We've also got a discussion board showing discounts on products and services our sponsors offer to PythonKC members.
