  Topic: Python

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, often compared to Perl and Ruby.

It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, dynamic typing and all the other Good Things that one wants from a programming language.

It is remarkably easy to learn - so easy in fact that it can learned (to the point of doing useful stuff) in an afternoon, and all of its basics can even be explained in this presentation.
