The node packages are not needed to run asyncio or any of the backend code, but are used to make the frontend code easier to discuss. For example, the main node package I used was RapydScript, a Python-to-JavaScript compiler. Using this tool, I was able to keep my client code examples in Python. Although if you look closely at the .pyj files in the example programs, you'll see that it's not quite pure Python. The other node package is called Stylus, and is a CSS preprocessor. This allowed to me write much more minimal style code. For example, this is the stylesheet for the first example: https://github.com/feihong/asyncio-tasks-talk/blob/master/async_task_v1/styles.styl. As you can see, Stylus uses whitespace-delimited blocks and eliminates the need for colons and semicolons. The talk was already more than long enough, so I wasn't able to get into this, but integrating preprocessors into your local development workflow is a bit easier when using asyncio or other event loops frameworks. Normally you would need to use threads to avoid simultaneous compiles unnecessarily slowing down the page render, but in asyncio web frameworks each request handler is already running in its own task and so cannot block other tasks. Hope this answered your question, Feihong On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 4:18 AM, Bob Haugen wrote: > Hi Feihong, > > Interesting stuff! Sorry I could not attend.

I jump in on rare occasions. Last night we had a Tech Crawl and I'm wondering if Chicago has anything similar, might be impractical: http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2016/09/tech-crawl-2016.html (ya'll have a *much* bigger CBD) Also of possible interest, these write-ups on Raspberry Pi presentations: http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2016/09/wanderers-201696.html (features a certain stuffed snake that used to serve as a Python community mascot) http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2016/08/code-school-evening.html (Portland has an interesting code school scene, I've been helping organize the Flying Circus on Mondays @ ). My hope here in Oregon is to help rescue more high school math students from the thraldom of TI-only and arm them with ARM chips and such. I call it Operation #CodeCastle on Twitter (@4DsolutionsPDX) Learning math after algebra could be a lot less dreary with better toyz.

The event will take place November 5-6, 2016 at the main campus in DeKalb, IL. Students from middle and high school will need a parental permission form signed and submitted prior to the event. Registration is now open and additional information can be found at www.huskiehack.org This is part of the expanding program our computer coding outreach that the university has begun to engage in. Volunteers are also needed for the event to fill mentorship roles and workshop/TedTak presentation spots. If interested in volunteering, please contact tlrogers at niu.edu about opportunities. For questions, feel free to email or call 770-777-7724. This free event is student centered and will provide an opportunity for team competition in making and coding. Please encourage your student's to attend as this is one of the only events associated with Major League Hacking in the mid-west which is open to students in middle school and high school.

My first time making a Python package and a GitHub repo:https://github.com/RobinFiveWords/merge_closest/ It's a single function that merges pandas DataFrames with a closest-without-going-over match, like Excel's VLOOKUP function when the last argument is TRUE. I couldn't find existing code out there, so I ended up writing it...and then rewriting it when I discovered numpy.searchsorted(). If this exact thing already exists out there, please break it to me gently. =] I'd very much like to learn how to build better packages. I imagine there's somewhere other than the __init__.py file that the public (only) function should go, but I'm not sure what is a standard and what is personal preference. Tests, certainly, although it isn't clear to me what tests to write for a single function. Any comments or suggestions are very welcome.

I have web development experience, but would like to augment my Python learning with an experienced tutor. I live in Pilsen, I could come to you if you?re near a train line or we could meet at Soho House (I?m a member) or something like that. If you are interested or available, I can provide additional details about myself and what I hope to learn if you email me directly (please do!) Thanks, Trevor From priteau at uchicago.edu Mon Sep 26 13:30:42 2016 From: priteau at uchicago.edu (Pierre Riteau) Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 18:30:42 +0100 Subject: [Chicago] Cloud computing software developer at University of Chicago Message-ID: Hello, We are seeking a cloud computing software developer at University of Chicago to be part of the Nimbus team. Most of our development is in Python and we use OpenStack on several projects. To apply please visit http://jobopportunities.uchicago.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=232936 About us: The Nimbus team is a pioneer in infrastructure cloud computing having developed what is now recognized as the first open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service implementation. We work closely with scientific application communities and develop innovative solutions in cloud computing infrastructures and platforms, with particular focus on cloud computing platforms supporting High Performance Computing and Big Data applications and systems. To facilitate cloud computing research on national scale, we also operate an experimental testbed supporting cloud computing research. Our overall mission is to develop innovative technical solutions enabling new methods creating unprecedented opportunities in science. The Nimbus team provides a friendly, challenge oriented environment. About the job: The job involves participation in two Nimbus projects. First, it will involve contributing to building and operating the Chameleon experimental infrastructure for cloud computing (www.chameleoncloud.org). Specific tasks might involve: working with OpenStack to provide additional features or troubleshoot problems, help operate the testbed working closely with our system administrators, and respond to user requests. The second project involves participating in development of infrastructure that combines cloud computing and HPC capabilities for resource management and container optimization. Specific tasks will involve enhancing or developing infrastructure-as-a-service system (e.g., Openstack), exploring or orchestrating their interaction with HPC tools (such as e.g., batch schedulers), and performance evaluation. Why join us: - You truly belong to the team; your contributions are valued and your initiatives are welcomed - You participate in shaping the directions of our existing and future projects - You make a positive change to the world by contributing to the advancement of science Key requirements for the job: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or another relevant computer related field - The more relevant programming experience the better (preferably demonstrated via contributions to open source software) - Programming experience with Python preferred - Knowledge of Unix/Linux, IaaS cloud systems (OpenStack, AWS), virtualization technologies/containers, and other relevant technologies - Experience with system administration and DevOps tools, such as Chef and Puppet, preferred - Excellent verbal and written communication skills - Ability to prioritize, work both independently and in a team environment, and a keen sense of humor For more detail and to apply please visit http://jobopportunities.uchicago.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=232936 From brianhray at gmail.com Mon Sep 26 15:52:31 2016 From: brianhray at gmail.com (Brian Ray) Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 14:52:31 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Cloud computing software developer at University of Chicago In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Looks like we accidentally released this to the list before Pierre requested. That was our mistake. So just keep in mind that the club has not reviewed the referral policy when applying. I will waive it this time in case you are hired before they review. Go ahead and apply.
