Happy 2025!
Date: Monday, January 13th @ 7pm
Princeton Python Monthly: Jan 2024
Happy new year!
Our next meeting is a week from Monday.
As usual we will start with a beginner-friendly code opener, likely based on some mistakes I made recently [plenty there to choose from], then everyone's introductions/updates; and finally Mike's links, Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials at https://www.princetonpy.org/next-meeting/.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
Note our unchanging meeting url--use the Jitsi meeting link on our home page.
