You can see it at http://www.estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php?page=python-e-som-tutorial.

Hope you enjoy it.

Python @ JustJava

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Last week i went to JustJava 2007, a Java event (ohh!!) here in São Paulo (actually at Senac, where i study, and that’s why i was there), anyway, as a Python fan i was interested in one specific talk, it was about Java Scripting, or Scripting Languages that runs inside the JVM, by Paulo César Jeveaux.

I was almost sure (:)) that we would have at least a bit of Jython, and I was right :)

Jeveaux started talking about the ways to implement a scripting language that runs inside the JVM. Then he talked about the languages that exists today, starting by Groovy, a language that runs in java environment. It has a syntax between python, ruby and java (at least as far as i could see). I must admit that i liked it and i will try to study a little this language.

After Groovy he talked about JRuby and then about Jython! Well, the funniest part was “I work with Java, but i really like Python!”.

For me, a Python Enthusiastic, it was very nice to see python @ a java conference, and i thought i should share it with who reads this blog (if anyone :) )

Polynomial Interpolation

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I’m writing a paper about Polynomial Interpolation and the Newton Form for my Numerical Calculus class.

Interpolation is something i’m learning *now* but i can already say that I like it! :)

As soon as i finish it i’ll upload and post here. Oh, it is in brazilian portuguese :( .
