==The Boston Python Workshop==
The Boston Python Workshop is a series of 1.5 day project-driven workshops and follow-up events aimed at beginning Python programmers. These are free events staffed by volunteers from the local programming and open source communities. We work closely with the [http://meetup.bostonpython.com| Boston Python Meetup], a large local Python user group.

Basic programming skills are so empowering and useful that we think everyone should have them. </div>
