[Watchalong] "The mighty dictionary" by Brandon Rhodes

This time we are trying something new: watchalong!

A watchalong is a community event where we get together to watch a tech talk and discuss it. Our goal is deep understanding of the subject, in this case how the hashtable (dictionary) is implemented in Python. We are going to pause occasionally during the talk to take our time to understand what is represented on the slide and talked about. This time Ana Balica will be facilitating the meetup.

Conference: PyCon 2010

Duration: 26 minutes

Audience level: beginners to intermediate

Prerequisites: basic understanding of binary and how to use Python dictionaries

Follow up: things have changed since 2010, so we will do another watchalong to catch up with latest things introduced in Python3 dictionary.
