ChiPy In-Person Events Canceled
ChiPy,
The ChiPy Board and Organizers have been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 in Chicago and abroad. ChiPy intends to continue to keep our community safe, and for that reason, we, along with our hosts, felt it best to cancel the following meetups:
- March __main__ meeting - 3/12
- Data SIG - 3/18
- Project Night 3/19
We obviously regret making this decision, but it is the right call, for now, to ensure that everyone remains safe and healthy. We will be exploring other options for engaging with the ChiPy community remotely in the near term, so please stay tuned.

I’ll use several example applications to illustrate. You'll learn when and how to use Ray in your projects.

If Statements are a Code Smell
By: Aly Sivji
Experience Level: Novice
if statements are elements of a programming language that allow us to control what statements are executed. By chaining together a series of if statements, we can solve any problem we can think of. But code with too many if statements is hard to read and even harder to change. Workarounds that once allowed us to move fast, now get in the way when we go in to make modifications. It doesn’t have to be this way! This talk demonstrates ...
