<P>If you're a Python developer, then I don't have to convince you: It's an amazing language.  The fact that it's easy to learn, readable, and easy to work with don't change the fact that it's powerful and flexible.</P>
<P>This course is meant to make you even more effective at using Python -- its data structures, functions, and objects, as well as advanced techniques like iterators, generators, and decorators.  We'll dive into the way that Python is implemented, giving you an understanding of why and how the language really works.</P>
<P>When this course is over, you'll know how to do even more with less code. You'll be able to write more "Pythonic" code. You'll understand the language better.  And you'll be equipped to solve new problems.</P>
<P>This is the same course that I have given at companies around the world, including Apple, Cisco, IBM, Intel, PayPal, and VMWare.  If you want to take your Python to the next level, then this is the course for you! </P>
<P>A <EM>huge</EM> part of the course is spent in exercises, practicing the topics that are introduced.  I strongly believe that you only truly learn when you practice.  I also expect active participation — not only working on the exercises, but asking questions throughout the course.  I expect to learn new things, and to be challenged by your questions!<BR></P>
<P>The course is four days long:</P>

<P>Each day will run from 9:30 - 17:30.  There will be both morning and afternoon breaks, as well as an hour-long break for lunch.</P>
<P>The training will take place in central Tel Aviv; the location will be announced by January 10th.</P>
