Developer must have experience with Python, TKInter and XML files. Local (Bay Area) developers only, please, and preference will be given for South Bay residents. There could be more work in the coming months with a focus on reading/writing/parsing local files, mostly ASCII text and XML files. For those interested and available to start immediately, please send your resume/Linked-in (but no FB) to the below email address. Thanks.

Message-ID: *Thursday October 29th 7:00 pm* Tonight, we will have the famous Moshe Zadka talk about how to get your types for free! And now, with more BayPiggies for your money -- we have added a lightning talk about CookieCutter! Lightning Talk Description Cookiecutter is a flexible tool that can be used for project generation and customization. It is somewhat similar to (in the Java world) Spring Boot. There are a couple caveats to using it. First, unlike Spring Boot there is no automatic framework and it doesn't do the kind of customization that pip requirements.txt already does. What does it do? Instead, however, it can create custom apps and custom Git repository resident apps that use customized data such as - the name of applications and files, ports, custom endpoints, actually just about anything that someone needs to customize. It uses a very simple json file to create pairs of substitute names and values. These names can be used to represent a directory, or a file or text within a file. Or a port. Or even part of a directory or file name which gives it a lot of customization power. Lightning Speaker bio: Richard Katz I am an engineering and business programmer, a software and data engineer with Spark, Pandas, Flask and Django. I have used more languages than I can list here. My best friend, a LISP programmer who helped develop SQL, told me it would be good for me to learn Python. I immediately loved Guido's tutorials and Raymond Hettinger's example called: "Eight Queens, Six Lines." I am a big advocate of Jupyter, I like thinking about Princeton in the 1940s. I do a lot of reading about Python books and I'm writing one. Main Talk Description How to add types to your code automatically by running your tests under MonkeyType .
