Free CODE for .NET programmers

PyCon has arranged a special incentive for .NET programmers registering for PyCon. (Of course, all attendees are eligible for the promotion - but it will have a special interest for those in the .NET world.) Please pass the notice on to .NET programmers you know. We'd like to see new legions of .NET users introduced to the joys of IronPython!

.NET's Dynamic Language Runtime has brought new prominence to the role of .NET dynamic languages like IronPython, and many .NET programmers are looking for ways to get up-to-date on this growing aspect of the .NET environment. PyCon, the world's largest conference of Python and IronPython programmers, is an unparalleled learning opportunity. For $450 or less, attendees can spend an entire week learning from and working with Python and IronPython programmers from raw beginners to the creators of Python and IronPython themselves.

This year, PyCon offers a bonus to .NET programmers - a free one-year subscription to CODE magazine, the leading independent .NET resource.

PyCon 2010 runs Feb. 17-25 in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference includes five tracks of standard talks, plus Open Spaces, Lightning Talks, hands-on lab, exhibit hall, and poster sessions. Feb. 17-18 are set aside for twenty-four intensive, half-day tutorials. PyCon's development sprints run Feb. 22-25, in which ordinary attendees work together with project leaders to cooperate on extending and improving Python, IronPython, or their own favorite libraries and projects.

IronPython, a full-powered .NET implementation of Python, lets .NET programmers easily use dynamic language capabilities in their .NET environments. A brief review of IronPython's benefits for .NET programmers is at http://ironpython-urls.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-ironpython.html

Early-bird registration (through January 6) is just $450, and further discounts are available for students and attendees without employer support.

For information and to register, see http://us.pycon.org. To claim your free subscription to CODE, use this coupon code during registration:

(NOTE: Some attendees have reported that the registration site did not accept their coupon code. If that happens to you - or, for any other reason, you come to PyCon but haven't used the coupon code - don't worry! Signup for CODE will be available at PyCon itself.)

See you in Atlanta!

I'm not actually able to go to PyCon but is there a way for me to get the free code subscription anyway?

Sorry, Anonymous, the offer is only available with conference registration.

I guess you could register and not attend... :)

It won't accept that code, says, "value not in database".

Yep - sorry, it actually won't accept the code _yet_;

I'll post here when that makes it out to the server.
