Alex Martelli, author of
Python in a Nutshell and one of the editors of the Python
Cookbook, will be speaking on "Python for Programmers" tomorrow evening, April 10th.
Ideal for programmers who have not had much exposure to Python, the talk will provide a rapid
overview of the main characteristics of the language plus a brief synopsis of its main
implementations, its standard library and its third-party extension packages.
As with all sessions of the Open Source Developers @ Google Speaker Series,
Alex's presentation will be open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 PM at our Mountain View campus; guests
should plan to sign in at Building 42 reception upon arrival. Refreshments will be served and
all are welcome and encouraged to attend. Alex's presentation will also be taped and published
on Google Video.

Current State of Samba," you can check out the video.
