Meeting Info
Main Presentation
Woot! Yourself with Python and Glade, by RobLudwick, VernCeder.
Learn how to use Python and Glade to quickly produce a GUI application to monitor Woot! and help you win those Woot-Off's. Glade makes laying out a GUI interface easy, and you can the use tepache to generate most of the Python code, leaving only the core logic to be written. We'll walk you through the steps to write your own Woot-Off monitor, and you'll be surprised at how easy it is to write a GUI.
This presentation is set at a beginner programmer level, but does assume some experience writing code or shell scripts. If you want to get up speed on some of the Python techniques and concepts we'll be using, be sure to catch the pre-session at 6:45 PM.
If you want to write the code on your own laptop be sure to install the following packages (on Ubuntu, names may differ slightly on other distros) - glade-3 tepache libglade2-0 python-gtk2 idle .
