  1. Overview of Python Eric Finkenbiner David J. Stucki

  2. History of Python “Bridge the gap between C and the shell.” Why not Perl? Too tied into Unix Syntax Languages that inspired Python C, Perl, Algol 60, Pascal, Algol 68, ABC

  3. History of Python Guido van Rossum Development began in 1989 while at CWI (Centrum voorWiskunde en Informatica) or National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands Released 1991 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Guido_van_Rossum_OSCON_2006.jpg

  4. History of Python 1994, “If Guido were hit by a bus” 1995, Python development begins at CNRI (partly funded by DARPA) DARPA funding allows for development of JPython (Java Implementation) as well as IronPython (.NET Implementation) 2001, Python Software Foundation created
