Topic: Introduction to Python, for IT managers Revision Date: 2003-07-17 Filename: python_intro_for_managers.ppt URL: http://www.ferg.org/python_presentations/index.html Author: Stephen Ferg (steve@ferg.org) This presentation introduces IT managers to Python. It pays special attention to issues that concern IT management in Federal government agencies. Many of the slides have presenters notes. If you plan to give this presentation, I suggest you print of the slideshow in a format that shows the notes, and read them. They may give you some ideas about point to be made, further resources, etc. You are free to use this file and modify it as you wish. (In particular, of course, you should replace my name and organization with your own on the opening slide!) Acknowledgements are not required – keep the audience focused on Python, not on who developed the slides. The wording of some of the quotations has been slightly modified from the original document to accommodate the need for compression in a slide presentation. But in all cases the wording of the quotations is substantially the same as it was in the original, and the point of a quote has never been altered. I have always tried to include a reference to the source of a quotation, so anyone may consult the original document if they wish to do so. -- Steve Ferg
