This was my first SAGE Days workshop, and I am only just now slowly getting into SAGE and Python coding. I've wanted to do this for a while, but it is difficult to find the time and motivation on one's own without some impetus. The workshop organizers provided good suggestions for pre-workshop preparation to newcomers which motivated me to prepare accordingly. While still a relative rookie, I learned a LOT at the workshop. Moreover, work on the programming project begun at the workshop by our group continues and is ongoing. The workshop also helped get me integrated in the SAGE development community.
