We're looking forward to our next meeting of the Melbourne Python user group tonight, Monday 7th October. Do come and join us! We have these two talks planned: *1. Juan Nunez-Iglesias: napari: a fast, n-dimensional image viewer in Python* (~25 minutes) Juan is a developer of napari, an OpenGL and Qt-based viewer for nD arrays, with a focus on biology. In this talk he will demonstrate napari and be happy to answer questions about it. By default, napari will render a 2D slice of an nD array and provide sliders for any additional dimensions, but with one click it can also render 3D and remove one of the sliders. Napari can overlay multiple volumes and layers of different types (images, points, shapes, ...), allowing annotation of nD images. Finally, napari is compatible with dask arrays, making it able to view enormous datasets that don't fit in RAM. *2. Clinton Roy: Python packaging with Poetry *(~30 minutes) This talk aims to look at some of the ways Poetry moves the conversation forward, learns from other packaging ecosystems, and where Python itself is going. We will be talking file formats, Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) to do with packaging, different packaging ideologies and looking at what we can learn from completely different languages. We?ll also be taking a look at the community?s approach to finding the way forward. *3. Announcements and pizza* *When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards *Where:* Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD *How to get there:* Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5 minutes from Melbourne Central *Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Life for providing the venue, Biarri for sponsoring pizzas, and Python Charmers for organisation and meetup sponsorship. *RSVP:* Please respond accurately on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ Do come along! We hope to see you there! :-) Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers http://pythoncharmers.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It used to be called ?full stack? but that term seems to mean something entirely different these days. Regards, /d -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I always ask the recruiters who the company is, in case I've applied to the company before, if the recruiter refuses to divulge who they are recruiting for that's a big red flag on the recruitment company.

I have had quite a few recruiters use it to mean "full-stack javascript", like it's a short-hand(?) for a node developer. I hope that usage doesn't catch on. On the mythical status of full-stack developers: I don't think it's a massive gap between how people start out in web development (making the entire site) and going a little further and learning in more detail about web accessibility and diving into CSS, and maybe a little React or whatever browser-side framework is popular these days. That said, effective CSS3/HTML5 has been a struggle for me and I occasionally pine for the simpler days of DSSSL or XSL. -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
