From shaun at anvil.works Mon Sep 3 09:24:04 2018 From: shaun at anvil.works (Shaun Taylor-Morgan) Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2018 14:24:04 +0100 Subject: [Baypiggies] Workshop proposal - Build web apps with nothing but Python in Anvil Message-ID: Hi Bay Piggies, I?d like to propose a workshop session - building web apps with nothing but Python using Anvil. Anvil is a bit like Visual Basic for the web - it's got a drag-and-drop UI designer, both client-side and server-side code in Python, and a built in database. You don?t need any JavaScript or frameworks, so anyone who knows a bit of Python can get something built and deployed pretty quickly. Here?s a seven-minute demo video: https://anvil.works/#about Sign up at https://anvil.works/login to have a play (it's free). Our founder is going to be in town Oct 15th - Oct 25th. Is this something you?d be interested in? --- Shaun Taylor-Morgan Developer Evangelist - https://anvil.works Tel: +44 (0) 7966 839697 Proud sponsors of PyCon UK 2018.

Message-ID: Someone pointed me in the direction of this talk. I'm only half way through the video and I'm thinking: - Are there screen readers specifically for a programming language? - If we had a screen reader for Python, is there a PEP on how it would be read/how it would sound? (Could someone read it in a way that another person could write it (passing pycodestyle) and the diffs between the files would be minimal? - Are there any members of our community now who have have experience with vision issues writing Python code? The talk is regarding Go. But the accessibility issues transcend all languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVaDY0ChvOQ Transcript and slides here: https://www.juliaferraioli.com/presos/writing-accessible-go/ All feedback welcome.
