“Python is e Jeföhl”

“EuroPython isn’t exactly a conference: it’s a chance to hang out with friends that you haven’t even met yet …” ~ Lynn Root, Spotify

The Python community exists of many marvelous people coming from all over the world. They are solving interesting problems with fascinating solutions. With Python you are learning how to solve a problem and the solution is derived … it’s a wholly different way of thinking about problem solving: therefore Think PythonThink Complexity (CC-licensed online versions).
