MicroPython for industrial robots By: Carl Karsten
Date: Aug. 11, 2022, 6:30 p.m.

The MicroPython part of Evezor Modular Automation System.

or how to link an input device to a liniar actuator over CAN Bus.

 

I will maybe spend 5 min talking about my anser to  "What is / Teach me programming?" 

For sure I will spend a few moments talking about Python on FPGAs like Fomu and have a few to give out.

Python in the Cloud By: Adrian Garcia Badaracco
Date: July 14, 2022, 6:30 p.m.

This talk explores the relationship between Kubernetes/cloud infrastructure and the most common Python ASGI app deployment topology (Gunicorn with Uvicorn workers). We'll look at the issues that you'll encounter with this deployment strategy and how you can solve them and make your code simpler and more robust by ditching Gunicorn and taking control of your application.

Inside your ASGI web framework By: Adrian Garcia Badaracco
Date: July 14, 2022, 6:30 p.m.

A walkthrough of the Asynchronous Gateway Server Interface, the API that powers Uvicorn, Starlette and FastAPI.

We'll go through some history, the spec itself, how to write an app and how to write middleware.

By the end of this talk you should have a good idea of what is going on under the hood in your ASGI web server and framework.

Design Patterns & Anti-Patterns By: Peter Phyall, Nick Petrovits
Date: June 9, 2022, 6 p.m.

This presentation focuses on an exploration of common software development design patterns, best development practices, and a discussion of anti-patterns.

Xpresso: an extensible and composable ASGI framework By: Adrian Garcia Badaracco
Date: April 14, 2022, 6 p.m.

Xpresso is an extensible and composable ASGI web framework, inspired by FastAPI.

It improves on FastAPI by decoupling the dependency injection from the request/response paradigm and decoupling the framework from Pydantic, using PEP 593 annotations. This enables many nice features, like a more flexible dependency injection system, concurrent execution of dependencies and much more customizable processing of request parameters and bodies.

Introduction to GeoSpatial Data with Python By: Craig Barnes
Date: April 14, 2022, 6 p.m.

Introduction to processing and serving Geospatial Data using Python. The talk will introduce relevant background information, common data formats, and how to create, modify and serve geospatial data. 

Every Way SpotHero Uses Python By: James Lamb
Date: March 10, 2022, 6 p.m.

We love Python at SpotHero. In this talk, attendees will learn all the ways that SpotHero uses Python. Libraries, web services, machine learning, data processing, and more! After an overview of these use cases, the talk concludes with a set of practical suggestions for effective use of Python in different settings.

The primary goal of the talk is to expand attendees' imaginations around the wide range of use cases that Python can be a good fit for in a consumer-facing company.

Everyday Design Patterns: Observer Pattern By: Aly Sivji
Date: March 10, 2022, 6 p.m.

The Observer Pattern enables us to design event-driven systems using loosely coupled components. In this talk, we will learn how, when, and why to use this pattern; we will explore how popular PyPI packages use the pattern; and, we will design a decorator-based Observer to process GitHub events.

Nerf Blaster Turret powered by Python By: Josh Martin
Date: Feb. 10, 2022, 6 p.m.

In this talk, Josh will introduce you into how to choose electrical components for your next project. How to program embedded devices in Python like Raspberry PIs. How to do facial recognition with openCV.  Most importantly, why you should watch squid games, the joys of making memes and a full automatic nerf blaster.
