From 9th to 11st June, two of our DISM students Jeremy Heng and Xu Dong attended as student guests the Python Conference 2011 in Asia-Pacific region held in Republic Polytechnic, courtesy of Python User Group (Singapore), otherwise known as PUGS.
Python is a general purpose, powerful object-oriented programming language. Used by large, multi-national and successful organizations such as Google, NASA, Honeywell and Rackspace, the language - while not considered as "mainstream" as web scripting languages like PHP - has a unique position for Organizations keen on using it for developing, maintaining and scaling Enterprise Class Applications.
