It was late last night and I messed up sending this. I'll try again in the cold light of day... :-(

My background is as an electronics engineer and I worked 10 years as a professional software engineer (using Lisp, SQL, Pascal, C and C++) before moving into architecture. I use Python for my own research and also as a prototyping language for things that will eventually be coded in Java. I am increasingly using Jython to test Java components built by my developers and exposed as web services. More info on my likes, dislikes and views on professional topics at: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/computing.htm http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/complang.htm When not programming I enjoy photography(still & video), music/HiFi, climbing mountains (and skiing back down). And don't tell my wife, but I actually quite enjoy working in our garden! More about by hiking escapades here: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/hills/ HTH, Alan G. PS Several of the links on the pages above May be broken... the mountain site is still under construction. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
