I’m currently packing up for a trip up to Collin County Community College where I’m attending the Intro to Python Scripting . 
This is one of several week-long courses offered for IT Faculty Development. I’ve tinkered with Python off and on but I really want to move my understanding to the next level so that it becomes part of my regular toolset.
Another motivator – I will be teaching our Programming Logic course this Fall. Even though we don’t do a lot of actual programming in this course, I’d like to have Python at the ready for in-class demonstrations and such.
Looking forward to “being the student” for a few days!
