I want to thank everyone that has submitted talk(s) for PyBay this year, we?re amazed at the quantity and quality of submissions within a short week. Here?s a small sample of our talks and speakers for PyBay2021 Food Truck Edition: - Building a database with Python with *Yury Selivanov*, founder of EdgeDB and Core Python developer on async/await and contextvars. - Observable Python Applications with *Moshe Zadka*, contributor to CPython and founding member of the Twisted project. - Managing the Test Data Nightmare with *Andrew Knight*, author of the popular tech blog AutomationPanda.com. - Cutting edge hyperparameter tuning made simple with Ray Tune with *Xiaowei Jiang*, machine learning engineer at Anyscale, and previously at Google and Uber. - IDOM ? it?s React, but in Python with *Ryan Moorshead*, software engineer at Amazon and contributor for Jupyter and IPython. - Keeping things Simple ? From Simple Webapps to Enterprise Python with *Robert Jackiewicz*, staff engineer at Carta. - Polyglot Design Patterns for the Adventurous with *Kevin Jones*, NGINX evangelist and Blockchain ninja. - Descriptors are like Ninjas with *Madelaine Boyd*, founding engineer at Bit.io. *Dig it?* Let's take this moment to recognize our super diligent content crew: Xun Tang, James Abel, Phebe Polk, Jeff Fischer, Karen Dalton, Chuck Chan. They've worked tirelessly, some into the weekend, to arrive at this year's talk list. We will be meeting again this week to finalize the line-up. We?ll also be funneling some talks to Bay Area meetup groups, SF Python and Bay Piggies, in the coming months. We are also pleased to announce NGINX as a Silver sponsorNGINX, now a part of F5, Inc., is the company behind the popular open source project, NGINX. They offer a suite of technologies for developing and delivering modern applications. Together with F5, their combined solution bridges the gap between NetOps and DevOps, with multi?cloud application services that span from code to customer. Check them out at nginx.com This year in particular, we are relying on sponsors in order to deliver the best possible experience for our attendees, including A/V suitable for outdoor conditions. NGINX's contribution made a huge impact but we can benefit from more sponsors. Please talk to your company and ask them to become a sponsor. Sponsorship options include: If your company wants to provide security guards to ensure Covid-19 compliance or to provide laptop and phone charging stations, we can make that happen too. Visit pybay.com for more details. Let?s create a better reality for Pythonistas in the San Francisco Bay Area ? TOGETHER Looking forward to seeing you at PyBay2021 Food Truck Edition on October 9, 2021. Thanks in advance for liking this post, saving the date, and spreading the word! Your humble servant, Grace Law SF Python Founder and PyBay Conference Chair SF Python is a volunteer-run organization aiming to foster the Python Community in the Bay Area.

It is helpful, but not required to know a programming language, and a little about statistics. https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=6240437&SectionID=7393411 --- The course is hands-on with short lectures, and lots of relevant exercises, And, we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome. Please come, and send students!

And, we get to bring you these speakers from all over the world to interact with you, at our virtual conferencing platform. Okay, enough of the commercials. Don't miss this Wed's line-up: ?RSVP now Whether you are doing Web dev or not, you'll benefit from this content and speaking with the speakers. ? ? Short talk (~15 mins + Q&A) *PyWebIO: a Python-based NoJS web app development framework by Helin Cao* JavaScript is the dominant language in web frontend development. However, not every Pythonista wants to learn JavaScript. How to empower them to launch web apps? PyWebIO is an open-source library that allows developers to build full-stack web applications with only Python. Thus, "No Javascript" (NoJS) is needed. In this talk, we will introduce the library and show some demos. ? Main talk (~40 mins + Q&A) *Anvil: Full-Stack Web With Nothing But Python by Meredydd Luff* Building a modern web app requires so much: HTML, CSS, JS, Python, SQL, React, Bootstrap, Webpack, Flask... What if we could build a better abstraction? Our answer is Anvil (https://anvil.works): a full-stack Python environment where everything is a Python object, from your UI components to your database rows. In this talk, I'll walk you through how and why we constructed this new approach to the web. We'll start with a question: Why is web programming hard? It's because your data takes so many forms: database rows, Python objects, JSON on REST, JS objects, HTML DOM, and finally pixels. Most of a web developer's job is translating between these awkwardly different representations. Frameworks like Django help, but now you have a stack of leaky abstractions: web frameworks, ORMs, JS frameworks, CSS frameworks, build tools... These frameworks help you go faster, but they double the amount you need to know!So I'll show our stab at an answer: A framework where everything is a Python object, requests to the server are function calls, and Python is a browser-side language. I'll talk about running Python in the browser. I'll talk about full-stack autocompletion. There will even be live coding. Bio:Meredydd is one of the original creators of the Anvil web framework. He did his PhD in building usable programming systems, and has worked on projects from messaging apps to the Linux kernel. He?s based in Cambridge (the one on the Cam, not the on the Charles). Don't miss the opportunity to pick these speakers' brain this Wed Sept 15: RSVP now Network with speakers and Pythonistas at 6:30p PST, talks start at 7p. FAQ *? How does one network / socialize at a virtual event? * With remo.co, you can join different virtual tables to chat with speakers, find out about how others are using Python, and start your own discussion topic. Turn on your mic and video when you arrive, and wola, just like an in-person event, you can chat with folks at your table. Prefer a different conversation? Double click to join another table or search the participant list, DM them via in app chat to your table for a reunion.
