Python Presentation

I need to make a presentation about the syntax and features of Python in one of my CS classes.

What should I tell them?

in b4 FIOC LOL!

Tell them its faster than C, easier than Java, and more elitist than Lisp.

FIOC

GOD FUCK.  I thought this bullshit standard of "making a presentation" in front of the class was supposed to end in grade school.

The stupidity just never ends.  I hope I can get hired without a degree some day because I've just had enough of the fucking retardation and I really don't want to go back to school if it's going to be more "presenting in front of the class" and "group projects" and other nonsense that doesn't belong in the education system.

Clean syntax leads to increased productivity, the byte code of Python can be turned into binaries, which results in faster code for the platform compiled for. Do some of you're own fucking research, faggot.

Capstone requirement. Its a standard in most private and public universities for CS/CE/EE.

Just to give you an idea, my current semester:

Network Implementation: Lots of group work/No presentations
Operating Systems II: Lots of group work/Lots of presentations
Frontiers in IT: No group work/100% presentations (not even tests)
Professional Writing: No group work/No presentations, just essays

It is as elegant as Perl, as fast as Ruby, and as enterprise-ready as C++.

Operating Systems II: Lots of group work/Lots of presentations
I won't be going to your school.  Seriously...  College/University is the time where you're supposed to get your shit together and TEACH YOURSELF using your own fuckin time because you should be old enough (and smart enough if you're accepted into a school) to do it without teacher holding your hand like many people are used to in the public school system.

And presentations?  Why the hell should you have to present anything if you're studying operating systems?  May as well have recess and 15 minutes each class to eat a snack and talk to your friends.

Here's how OS II works:

-First, the class is divided up into development teams that will be responsible for programming different elements of a simple operating system. (I'm in the CPU Process Scheduling team)

-Next each team is assigned deadlines to complete specific portions of their element.

-After a deadline passes, each team must present what they have done to the rest of the class so everyone can be on the same page.

-Meetings are held often to make sure that all of the elements will properly interface together.

Overall, Operating Systems II can be annoying as fuck, but its a great learning experience that teaches you how to operate and communicate in a fully functional enterprise environment. 

Computer Science in the real world is 50% knowing how to solve problems and 50% knowing how to communicate and work as a team effectively. I think that CALTECH is doing a great job at preparing its students for the real world not how to program one liners in LISP in mom's basement..

Somebody please delete this post, it's heresy of the worst kind.

why the fuck would anyone go to the university if he just wants to work for a corporation?

Oh you...

Looks like >>16 doesn't know how the world works!

ONE WORD: THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE
PRESENTATION OVER

OP here, I made my presentation yesterday. I mentioned FIOC a few times and even devoted my final powerpoint slide to Leah Culver. I somehow managed to make it through the whole presentation without fucking up or bursting out laughing. My professor even questioned me about the term FIOC at the end and I gave him an ENTERPRIZE QUALITY ANSWER and he just replied with "Ah, I see. Very informative presentation!" .

>>20
Were there any /prog/riders in your class?

>>20
So what was your Enterprise Quality™ answer exactly?

>>21
None that I am aware of. Honestly I doubt it or else I would have gotten plenty of troll questions at the end.

>>22
I told him that FIOC or the Forced Indention of Code is a term coined by the software industry to describe the inflexible nature of Python syntax, which includes the use of white-space delimiters.

lulz

You have some fucking balls for risking your grade over that!

lol, whut?
i am confus

>>25
lulz
IHBT

We need you to release the source code of your presentation

>>1 "What should I tell them?"

Try: "barf me out, gag me with a spoon!". It might work.

>>26
Your an anus!

>>31
wat?

>>31
YOUR MY ANUS

>>32
>>33
CEASE AND DESIST BEFORE I AM FORCED TO HACK YOUR ANUS IN ADDITION TO INDENTING YOUR CODE
