Python Ireland March meetup @ Science Gallery

This month we have a talk by Jonathan about Redis, and Vishal Vatsa about Pandas, SciPy and IPython Notebooks.

We will be heading to O'Neill's Pub (Pearse Street opp Science Gallery) after the talks.

Talk title: Redis, the new black (Jonathan Frawley)

A postmortem of using redis as a primary data store for 18 months along with the design and implementation of a new open source ORM for redis. We will first look at some reasons to use redis over other SQL and noSQL alternatives. We discuss important properties that redis has such as atomicity, transactions and data structures and how we translated these to the ORM. We will also look at some of the caveats of running redis in production.

About: Jonathan is a developer at PageFair. He enjoys hacking on python and C in his spare time and taking part in game jams.

Talk title: Statistics in Python: Pandas, SciPy and IPython Notebooks (Vishal Vatsa)

Introduction to tools for statistical analysis in Python. Using Pandas, SciPy and IPython Notebooks for exploration of data-sets in a intuitive environment. Or why Zed Shaw won't kill you, since you can talk with (statistical) confidence about your systems.
