*What:*


*How I Taught My Dog To Text Selfies *By: Greg Baugues
Experience Level: Novice
This talk is is for Python developers who would like to get started with
hardware hacking but have been too intimidated in the past to do so. Also,
it's for people who like dogs and/or selfies. Using a Raspberry Pi, Python,
Twilio, and a big red button, I taught my dog to text selfies. In this
talk, which features 25 minutes of live coding, we'll build the hardware
hack from scratch. Developers will walk away knowing how to use Python to
interact with Twilio and the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. A video of this hack
was featured on Mashable and was watched over 2.5M times.

*How To Develop and Deploy Faster using Python APIs *
By: Paul Ebreo
Experience Level: Intermediate
Building and deploying applications has never been easier, especially with
the proliferation of APIs. In this talk, I will share the 4 concepts that
will allow Python developers to quickly learn and use any Python-based API.
The target audience for this talk are intermediate newbies who have a
couple of projects under their belt.

*Quick prototyping with redis-helper *
By: Kenneth Wade
Experience Level: Novice
In this talk, I will demonstrate some uses of
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/redis-helper and how you can easily store,
index, and modify Python dicts in Redis. Some asciinema demos are available
at https://asciinema.org/~kenjyco
Thanks always to all our Platinum sponsors, especially: Braintree,
Imaginary Landscape, and Telnyx.
