tl/dr:
- practice talk: From Content to Coding: Discover the Power Tool Embedded in your Browser
- Pythonic Pitfalls: DataFrame.loc in pandas

details:
We'll start at 7pm sharp with an installment of our Pythonic Pitfalls series, exploring common beginner errors using DataFrame.loc in pandas.
Then after introductions, John will give a practice talk intended to be given to the general public, hopefully cosponsored with local public libraries, to expand our membership:
From Content to Coding: Discover the Power Tool Embedded in your Browser
We assume zero knowledge of web technologies and take a whirlwind tour from html through css into javascript, all without leaving the browser, and all based on the "devtools" interface embedded in all major browsers.
The aim is not to teach, but to spark interest, introduce some basic concepts and a really cool tool, and link to further info.
Only the most hard-core back-end developer would learn anything from this very introductory front-end talk, but we ask you to imagine yourself giving this talk at your local library, and help with suggestions on how to improve it.
This talk is part of a planned series of talks for complete beginners; unlike this one, the rest will focus on python.
And as always you're invited to update us on your project/idea/question when you introduce yourself, or to just sit back and enjoy the code!

Future meetings will include:
- data visualization in Pandas
- crash course in deep learning
- learn python from scratch

Plus our ongoing series:
- Auto-mania explores automated transformation of source code.
- Demysti-py looks at how familiar constructs are implemented.
- Pythonic pitfalls: error fu deepens your understanding of fundamentals.
- Deep reading explores and applies academic articles on deep learning.
- New tool roundup by our resident code hound keeps you updated.
