| 00:22.35 | rioter | if its the same as in most other languages a = a + <othersideofequals> |
| 00:22.42 | rioter | but its python so im probably wrong |

| 00:38.35 | orchid | John Peel died today :( |
| 00:49.49 | darth_mall | bad orchid |
| 00:49.54 | darth_mall | cute quit message though |
| 00:52.02 | zak | darth_mall: attempting to start wokring on our mission module, but neither of us is terribly fluent in python and audrey has no prior experience, which essentially means we are the blind leading the blind |
| 00:58.34 | darth_mall | zak: you should look through the docs on python.org |
| 00:58.41 | darth_mall | their tutorial is very good |
| 00:59.24 | laodamas | or go find a copy of "python in a nutshell" |
| 00:59.50 | darth_mall | naw |
| 00:59.55 | darth_mall | python.org is all you need |
| 01:00.54 | purple_cow | so, sammiches? |
| 01:01.01 | laodamas | I find online documentation best for learning APIs |
| 01:02.48 | darth_mall | but python's docs are soooooooo good |
| 01:03.13 | purple_cow | kindof |
| 01:04.54 | zak | aer classes essentially just an organization system? |
| 01:05.00 | purple_cow | kindof |
| 01:05.07 | laodamas | darth_mall: Do people up in boulder have any Halloween plans? |
| 01:05.07 | darth_mall | zak: time to read some docs ^^ |
| 01:05.16 | zak | darth_mall: definetly |
| 01:05.16 | darth_mall | laodamas: I think there's a party at Ashvin's |
| 01:05.50 | purple_cow | zak: classes are a way of organizing code, but object orientation is a pretty different way of thinking than procedural programming |
| 01:06.08 | zak | how so? |
| 01:06.13 | darth_mall | object-oriented programming creates error-proof code! |
| 01:06.26 | zak | darth_mall: HA! |
| 01:07.02 | darth_mall | zak: http://python.org/doc/2.3.4/tut/node11.html |
| 01:07.03 | purple_cow | zak: it's kind of hard to explain simply..hmm... |
| 01:07.19 | darth_mall | but that might be more theory than you need |
| 01:12.47 | purple_cow | darth_mall: so, care to make a phone call? |
