I did a similar thing with my first talk, last year, which went from "Python unittesting libraries: a comparative overview" (people actually fell asleep) to "PyTest v Unittest: FIGHT!" (so exciting PyConUK projectors were broke... twice) Also an artificial deadline would really help! Here's a doodle to register interest and availability: http://doodle.com/5d7k2dndmw4fhufh Not sure of location yet. We can probably do it at Hogarth (sans catering) or Dan Pope's house was also mentioned if it's just 3 or 4 people (not sure if he'll cook dinner though).

We're going to meet for the next meetup and these are the details, Author: David R. MacIver Subject: Finding more bugs with less work Date: 18.30, 6th August 2015 Location: Onefinestay, 5 St Johns Lane London EC1M 4BH Description: Software testing is often terrible, because we lack the tools to make it good. As a result we often spend a huge amount of effort on testing and still let obvious bugs slip through. Hypothesis is a new testing library for Python that aims to help fix this, by making your test suite go actively looking for bugs in places you didn't expect to find them. In this talk, the author of Hypothesis talks about the approach behind it and some of the practicalities of using it.

I'f like to invite everyone to the third meeting of London Python Project Nights - there will be a break after this before we come back for Season 01. Tickets can be found at https://london-python-project-nights.eventwax.com/london-python-project-nights-s00-e01-2 . At the last couple we've had some interesting work done on Pygame Zero and romaine - we've also had some people working on their own, writing code or blogs, and making use of the relaxed collaborative environment to share and explore their ideas. As said previously this is an informal event. The format is likely to be much the same as the last - people turn up between 18:30 and 19:00, feel free to bring your own food, or order some in when you get there - if you're working on something at the moment bring it along, work on it, and share ideas and problems with others - if you're not working on anything, just bring yourself and maybe a laptop, and get stuck in on someone else's project. See here for a map of nearby transport links and food , I hope to see some of you there! Al -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi all, In case you've forgotten, this year we are launching a poster session at PyCon UK. Poster sessions are great in a number of ways - they are a good opportunity to contribute for people who aren't up for giving a talk, they are a much more interactive way to communicate on a topic, and they are well suited for exposing ideas that are either too niche or too new and experimental for the main talk tracks. While those virtues are formidable, there is still one thing lacking from making the poster session a key part of PyCon UK - posters! We have a few excellent posters submitted, but we could easily accommodate a dozen more, and a strong showing this year would assure the poster session of return engagement next year. So please consider submitting a poster - if you have a new wrinkle on teaching Python, have written an interesting little library to organize widgets, have unlocked the secrets of Unicode, taught your RPi to babysit the cat, or literally anything else Pythonic, it could make a good poster. To propose a poster, please visit http://www.pyconuk.org/programme/ and fill out the form (the only type of proposal is now "poster") and join us! And please direct any questions to me at naomi.ceder at gmail.com. Thanks, and happy postering!

We're solving an important problem in recruiting suitable volunteers for medical trials, which allows trials to proceed more quickly, getting vital drugs and treatments to market faster. This saves lives, and has substantial financial benefits. The successful applicant will join the 4 devs on the back-end team, who own a large "classic" vintage Django application, and a few newer services, which mostly use the lightweight framework 'Falcon'. We also have couple of experienced front-end guys, and a real user experience designer. He shares video highlights of real users in front of the software, which really brings home what works and what doesn't, and also how important the service we provide is to our users. There are about 15 staff in the London office, about 30 worldwide.

I would like to announce an idea I had in the past weeks (no, I'm not announcing a ready book, please keep reading :P ): a book about Django Rest Framework! Directly from the README: The idea of writing a book about Django Rest Framework comes from my (Andrea Grandi) daily usage of this fantastic library. The framework itself has a very good documentation but sometimes it can be not enough, expecially for people that have just started working with it. I don't define myself a Django Rest Framework expert despite having used it for the latest 2 years and very often I need to look at the documentation. This is why I would like to make this a collaborative work: I have surely the willing but not all the required experience. Surely at the end of this adventure I (and everyone who will contribute) will have a wider knowledge of the framework, but still the book will need the help of more people expecially in areas where an expert of internals is required or even just to review how it has been written (disclaimer: I'm not a native english speaker, so expect some errors in the text). Who would like to help me in this adventure :) ? The url of the project is here: https://github.com/djangorestbook/djangorestbook NOTE: I've no plans to make this a commercial product/book and all the material will be released with the Creative Common license. When the book will be ready, if we will be able to find a publisher maybe we will put a small price on the final book, just to cover the publishing/printing expenses, but for now publishing (as in paper or through an official channel) is not something that I'm planning to do. p.s: please be kind with your feedback about this idea, because what I want to do is just to create something that will help many people to have a better understanding of this fantastic library that is Django Rest Framework. -- Andrea Grandi - Software Engineer Website: http://www.andreagrandi.it Twitter: https://twitter.com/andreagrandi GitHub: https://github.com/andreagrandi PGP: 7238 74F6 886D 5994 323F 1781 8CFB 47AD C384 F0CC From dougal at dougalmatthews.com Sat Jul 25 13:59:00 2015 From: dougal at dougalmatthews.com (Dougal Matthews) Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2015 12:59:00 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Django Rest Book: a collaborative book about Django Rest Framework In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 25 July 2015 at 12:43, a.grandi at gmail.com wrote: > Hello! > > I would like to announce an idea I had in the past weeks (no, I'm not > announcing a ready book, please keep reading :P ): a book about Django > Rest Framework!

This month we are focusing on core Python, meaning that we are mostly going to be covering the Python standard library and some of it's really interesting areas. The full talk descriptions are included below. I think it is going to be a great one, so don't delay as the tickets went quickly last time. You can sign up for a ticket here: http://python-glasgow-2015-august-talks.eventbrite.co.uk/ SkyScanner are hosting us and will be provising food and drinks. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Dougal --- Talk 1: Lazy Python by Jeffrey Burrows (J P Morgan) How the sheer laziness of the itertools library can make your code faster, prettier and more memory efficient. Talk 2: Asynchronous Python with asyncio by Kevin McDermott (Heroku) Python 3.4 added asyncio, a mysterious library that can get more out of your Python runtimes, without adding the overhead of threading. Kevin will explain what it does, and how it works, and how you can get more out of modern Python applications with an event-driven approach.
