It went EXCELLENT!

There is nothing quite like seeing a room full of people's eyes light
up and say... ooh this would be so much uglier in Java / VB / C / Etc.

Even our python guy was like, some of the stuff James did would be hard
to do as elegantly and python. So... eat that, snake charmers!

Anyway, it was a great example and next week's meeting goal will be
porting the tutorial to something object oriented in nature.

Anyway, thanks to James and I certainly encourage anyone to try this
out, because my group loved it!
