ALE-NE March Meeting – June 1, 2006 7:30PM – Puppy Linux
We will be showing Puppy Linux. It is a bootable linux distro that uses multi-session cd-r
magic to keep session history.
The feature presentation for ALE’s
June 8, 2006 Central Meeting will be
Python Programming —
As Applied to a Small Web Service Project
with world renowned ubergeek,
Charles Shapiro
The Esteemed Mr. Charles Shapiro, currently languishing
in an All-Windoze Shoppe, will attempt to elucidate the
Crunchy Goodness of Object-Oriented Design and the Python
language.
The presentation will feature a simple web-based Python
application which does surprising yet ultimately silly
transformations on solved sudoku puzzles. We’ll look at
some source code and discuss design issues, in hopes that your
humble speaker can learn what he did wrong on this project
before moving on to the next.
You can currently play with the application at:

Python in the mix. He can also type faster than most people can talk, is a
Linux Lunacy Cruise alumnae, and has been a happy Linux zealot since 1996.
