***** Lightning talk ******
*"WebAssembly, Determinstic Execution, and how to implement undo"
presented by Tom Ballinger
*Let's write a WebAssembly program and talk about once reason the
speaker cares about it: snapshotting and deterministic execution.
Tom Ballinger is a software engineer at Convex and has spoken at PyCon.
***** Main talk ******
*"Python, Accessibility, and Ensuring the DOM is Accessible (domible)"
presented by Joel Dodson
*
In a tech news cycle dominated by ML and LLMs, are we letting Python get
pigeon-holed? Is Python relevant outside the AI and Data Science
domains? What should Python developers know about web development? And
what is accessibility?
We will open with a very quick run through a very high-level
presentation on accessibility, a11y (see
https://joeldodson.github.io/pythonandaccessibility/). Then we'll dig
into a Python package, domible, used to render accessible HTML elements
on the server.
Domible is a set of Python classes used to render accessible HTML
elements directly from your Python program. If you've used jinja (or any
other templating library), I'd love to hear your thoughts. The code can
be found at https://github.com/joeldodson/domible.
Joel Dodson (https://linkedin.com/in/joeldodson) is a software developer
with over 20 years of experience building distributed platforms for
telecom, voice and messaging applications, and APIs. He lost his sight
in 2017 and has recently been learning front end development with a
focus on accessibility. He's a big fan of Python but struggling to see
it being used more for web development.
