The PyCon Tutorial days are Wednesday, April 9th and Thursday, April
10th 2014. Each day has two 3-hour tutorials periods, one in the morning (from
9:00 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.) and one in the afternoon (from 1:20 p.m. to
4:40 p.m.), with multiple tutorial being given in parallel during a period. The evenings are free for socializing and Open Space.
Tutorials are a great opportunity to learn something new related to
Python from experts, and they are a great value.
Closer to the conference we plan to add information to this page about how
to get the most out of tutorials you take. The best thing you can do
to prepare for a tutorial is be sure your laptop has the required
software loaded on it before the tutorial. Specific requirements will
be listed in the tutorial descriptions, and for a few tutorials,
instructors will communicate more detailed or revised instructions to
participants closer to the conference.
Volunteering
There are several ways you can help with tutorials.
Volunteer for the tutorial review committee to review proposals
and decide which ones to accept. To join the review committee list,
email pycon-tutorials@python.org
Volunteer to help as a TA (Teacher's Assistant) during a tutorial if
you have some Python experience and like helping others learn. This
was new at PyCon in 2012 and it was a boon for TAs and students alike. If you're interested email us at
[pycon-tutorials@python.org](mailto:pycon-tutorials@python.org?subject=Volunteer
to be a Tutorial TA)
