Code & Coffee

Hi folks!

WANT TO HEAR A TALK ABOUT A THING?

Include #lattetopics in a tweet to @codecoffeeyvr (https://twitter.com/codecoffeeyvr) with talk requests & talk ideas. We'll share it with the community and some speakers will hopefully pick them up! 🗣

SCHEDULE:

6:30pm: Drink coffee, eat timbits and mingle!

6:45pm: Short Talks:

Clemens Wolff – Super Simple Web Services in Python with Sanic and Authbind

Web programming in Python is a joy: great high level language, very powerful libraries, usually straight-forward code. Deploying Python web projects to production, however, can often be an exercise in frustration. Should I use Nginx or Apache? Gunicorn or Meinheld or both? Socket communication or localhost http redirects? And what about all those init.d scripts... in this talk, I'll walk through using Sanic and Authbind as an alternative Python web stack that enables us to deploy production-scale services with minimal configuration and setup effort.

Anish Kumar – Developing using Docker and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)

At STAT, we write code on our Mac laptops and deploy them to EC2 instances. This creates a lot of issues for us as OSX env is different than Linux env. When you use Amazon services like DynamoDB, S3 etc, like we do, configuration, testing and performance measurement is its own nightmare. Anish will be talking about how Docker containers and Amazon’s Container service (ECS) can be used to alleviate this problem, and potentially make developing easier. He will demonstrate how standardized Docker containers from dockerhub.com can be setup on your local machine to develop, test and subsequently deploy to ECS.

7:30pm: Work/discussion period (for technology passion projects)

8:30pm: Thank you everyone!

Our talks are quick 10-15 minute presentations. We welcome speaker submissions from developers of any experience level. We require that speaker topics fall within the technology realm (ie. this is not the place to pitch a business idea). If you would like to speak at a future event, please send us a message or talk to us at one of the events. Check out our speaker's package here: http://github.com/Code-and-Coffee-YVR/Speaker-Package
