A work environment can suddenly impact the direction of a project in unexpected ways, because of the many stakeholders; but they usually have a robust process in place for actually doing the coding (otherwise nothing gets done). Implementing a solid and productive workflow routine at home can be a challenge, but it is of great benefit for complex projects. This talk uses a sample text-processing project to demonstrate a home workflow design featuring sandboxing in Jupyter notebooks, migration of working routines to project-specific modules and straight-ahead Python files, and writing unit tests for these in PyTest. - *Calculating pi using Django and Solidity on the Ethereum Blockchain* By: Joshua Herman Experience Level: Intermediate After giving a whirlwind tour of what Ethereum and Solidity are I will show how to use Django and Web3py to deploy a smart contract that performs division. - *Going with the flow: Intro to Airflow* By: Matt Inwood Experience Level: Intermediate Airflow is a great open source resource for managing ETL, or any other scheduled jobs. We'll go over the DAG-Task-Script Hierarchy; job triggers, logging, and the web interface. I'll also talk about some best practices, and different caveats and gotchas that you can come across from my personal experience implementing it.
