Course Description

What does Python software programming have to do with Scrabble cheaters and Shakespearean sonnets? They're fun tools to teach intermediate-level Python programming techniques to Jessica McKellar, a software impresario. She was an organizer for the Boston Python User Group, one of the largest Python groups in the world. She taught hundreds of Python programmers how to program like professionals during her time there. In this follow-up to her popular Introduction to Python video, she uses that experience to benefit the next generation.

DropBox's Director of Engineering is Jessica McKellar. She is a graduate of MIT and enjoys networking and low-level systems engineering. She also enjoys contributing to and helping others contribute to open-source software. She is a Python Twisted maintainer, and a local STEM volunteer.
