PyPy // Django 1.7 migrations

Django 1.7 Migrations - Sabine

A short introduction into Django 1.7 migrations.

PyPy - Maciej Fijalkowski

PyPy is a fast and compliant alternative implementation for the Python programming language. In this talk Maciej would like to present PyPy, it's goals, it's history and the current status of running real world Python code. The talk will cover some architectural details like the implementation of our Just in Time compiler as well a bit more esoteric features like Software Transactional Memory, which promises to provide a GIL less PyPy. It'll also contain a fair bit about benchmarking and how to port/move your code to PyPy based on a case study.

Maciej Fijalkowski is a long time PyPy core developer, running a consulting business around PyPy, baroquesoftware.com. He has been involved in various pieces of PyPy, including garbage collector, just in time compiler, assembler generation etc.

As always there will be Plenty of sandwiches, chips, snacks and drinks.

Doors open at 18:30. Talks start around 19:00
