PyData Prague #5 - Dashing Automobile

After 4 events in the last 12 months, here comes the 5th (almost) regular Prague PyData meetup. This time, we will again meet at the Microsoft conference room. As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as 18:00 to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks). Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.

🗲 If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning.

Location: Microsoft conference room, Vyskočilova 1561/4a, Praha 4, https://goo.gl/maps/cGabzAgXeteHudsR8.

📢 Talk 1: Andrej Svitek - Data Science in Automotive industry 📢

The Automotive industry is one of the most important drivers (pun intended) of the Czech economy. With more than 1,4 million cars produced per year, 800 companies involved and 160 000 direct employees, Automotive is considered the largest industry in the Czech Republic accounting for more than 9 % of GDP.
With constant flood of buzzwords (IIoT, Industry 4.0, Digital factory 2.0, Autonomous Driving just to name a few), the aim of this talk is to present a more realistic and data-driven perspective of the industry as well as look at the advantages and challenges of Data Science projects within this environment.

📢 Talk 2: Dom Weldon - Dash: Interactive Data Visualization Web Apps with no Javascript 📢

Your data science project may need to produce interactive tools and visualizations to allow end-users to explore data and results. Dash, a project by the team that makes Plotly, solves some of these problems by allowing data scientists to build rich and interactive websites in pure Python, with minimal knowledge of HTML and absolutely no Javascript.

This talk will give an overview of Dash, how it works and what it can be used for, before outlining some of the common problems that emerge when data scientists are let loose to produce web applications, and web developers have to work with the pydata ecosystem.

P.S. NumFOCUS, the non-governmental organization behind the PyData network that also supports many of your favourite Python libraries, asked us to promote the PyGiving fundraising campaign that runs November 11-28. You can donate any amount once or periodically - in exchange for that you get the warm feeling of having supported the tools you regularly use and the community around them. Disclaimer: PyData Prague does not get direct financial support via this channel; the best way of supporting us is by giving excellent talks ;-)
