Yes, I did C and C++ first.
And much assembler before that.
I'm an applications analyst for:
- Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association
- North Carolina Coastal Ocean Observing System
- Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System
among other things.
I facilitate TriZPUG meetings at UNC, organize Python, Zope, and Plone boot camps and sprints as well as develop and teach PyCamp for TriZPUG. I founded the fledgling UNC Python and Zope User Group.
My interests are marine embedded systems and coastal telemetry, data visualization, geographic information systems, and online collaboration software.
I love TriZPUG and the larger Python open source community. TriZPUG and the Plone community have been immensely supportive.
I have some thoughts on what constitutes content management.
Here are presentations I've given to TriZPUG or UNCZPUG which have slides:
- My ongoing, frequently updated presentation What You Need to Know About Python presented at Plone Conference 2009/2008 and Plone Symposium East 2009/2010 Online • ZIP • TGZ
- Recent Developments with ZopeSkel (Plone Conference 2009 talk) PDF • Video
- Python Decorators Online • PDF • ODP
- Python List Comprehensions Online • PDF • ODP
- Distutils Online • PDF • ODP
- Python Eggs Online • PDF • ODP
- KSS Part One Online • MOV • SWF • PDF • PPT • ODP

I've also given presentations at TriZPUG meetings on pdb, numpy, matplotlib, pyDap, and Plone Content Actions (live demo, no slides), parsing scientific data with Python (live demo, no slides), Plone 3 (Limi's conference slides), TextIndexNG3 (live demo, no slides), ZODB (Chris McDonough's slides), Clouseau (live demo, no slides), Social Patterns in Content Management (no slides), and Plone Desktop (live demo, no slides).
