PyCon on the Charles, part 1
- February 25 · 7:00 PM
In preparation for their presentations at PyCon US, Jessica and Nate will rehearse with us! Thanks to Smarterer for sponsoring the night.
Jessica McKellar: Keynote [All Levels]
Jessica is a director of the Python Software Foundation, and will be speaking inspirationally about Python.
Nate Aune: Deploy your Python app in 5 min with a PaaS [Intermediate]
How can you avoid servers and get back to coding? Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) makes deployment easy. But which PaaS do you choose and how do you get started? This talk will examine several of the leading PaaS providers and discuss their pros/cons. We'll also give examples for how to deploy the same app to each of them to see the differences.

I finally got the slides posted from my talk "Deploy Python apps in 5 minutes with a PaaS" including synchronized audio (thanks to Phil Skaroulis for recording the talk). http://appsembler.com/blog/depl...
Thanks to everyone for the great feedback! Hope to see some of you at PyCon next week!

Also related to Jessica's talk someone mentioned http://www.simplyscala.com/
as a great resource for learning Scala in the browser which reminded me of http://www.codeskulptor.org/ that is being used @ https://class.coursera.org/inter...February 26

The Boston python user group meetups are always great, and this one was no different. Good luck on your presentations @pycon Jessica and Nate!

Suggest to the speakers that they do not ask the audiences questions. It's a waste of presentation time and serves no purpose. Also avoid too many statistics. Present them in graphs

It's a matter of opinion whether asking the audience questions "is a waste of time". I had no problem with questions being asked of the audience. I feel it's a good way to engage the audience and make them think.

I'm going to give up my spot for someone who is dying to go to this event, since I'm really more interested in the Part 2 talks and will be attending on Wednesday!

Are these talks geared toward beginners as well? Or do they require a pretty sophisticated understanding of network architecture, development and Python already?

Will this be a workshop at all? Will I need my laptop, or will this be more motivational?
Either way, I am excited!
Thank you,

I don't get the new RSVP system. Should we just show up and hope there is enough space for all of us?

Jessica, will you start out with the very basics of Python, something similar to the one that was held this past Saturday at MIT? Also, how long is your section? Thanks!
