Start of Python Short Course in UMP

This is my first time organize the program and it's also considered the first program running. I thought it will be many participants according to their agreement of paying commitment fees. Still they were yet to appeared in labs too... Thanks to Marcus, Jeremy, Firdaus, Boh, Ng Swee Meng, and others who are willing to come to UMP and spending their precious time teaching us Python. It's quite sad that just only less than 50% of the expected amount of participants coming for the first day. I think I have mentioned that it's the first day of Puasa (fasting month) to all the participants before they gave me the names. However, those who have participated the workshop are quite happy and very interested in learning Python. Thanks to the trainers again. I'm sincerely apologize for not organizing the events well or as expected. Hoping tomorrow the participants will get more and more. Besides that, there are a few committee members are really in a very great help in this program: Lee Wei De, Iqbal, Chan Yunn Chyuan... Thanks to them the program run smoothly (I think so).... Really appreciate their helps... Maybe when I have enough money, I will treat them nice food. Other committee members even though they didn't involve much while the program progressing, I am quite thankful for their helps also. I think this time I am still too new to plan and organize the program. Hopefully will do it better next time.

Since this is the first time learning Python in class, I am quite happy and excited about it. Thanks to Boh who is willing to explain all the concept well. I think he did the great job for the first day. Today I have learned more concept bout the variables in Python, as well as list, tupple and dictionary. There are quite lots of surprise while learning Python today. Hope I can learn more and able to learn more. In Python, the variable doesn't have to be declared since it will be automatically assigned and using pointer style. There are various kind of Python, including C Python using C language Jython which use Java and Python and so on.

Last but not least, the presentation slides prepared by Marcus is quite impressive. Through the slides and the presentation, I just realized that Python really doesn't need to type that much and save time compared to other languages like C,C++,C#, and Java.

Conclusion for today is there are still lots more that I have to learn in my life time. I am very appreciate for the help from Python.MY. Seeking the next time to organize activities in university. But if really have to organize again, I hope to be well organized and make it more better and successful than this time...
