Python Ireland Monthly Meetup

Join us for our monthly event.

Dr Brett Becker and Dr Keith Quille: Leaving Certificate Computer Science Python

In this presentation, Dr Brett Becker (UCD) and Dr Keith Quille (TU Dublin) will discuss the Leaving Certificate Computer Science course with respect to the Python content. We will walk through all of the aspects covered in that course which may allow many members of Python Ireland to get involved and help out this new initiative, or at the least know what is expected from second-level students. This overview will cover topics such as introductory Python programming, more advanced Python programming, algorithms, embedded systems, databases and testing (use case tests and unit testing) which all use Python. Following this overview, we will present our efforts to help students and teachers showcasing a recently published book for the subject. We will specifically walk through a sample chapter on introductory Python programming that may be of value to Python Ireland which members will have access to! Keith also teaches and coordinates the Applied Machine Learning and Applied AI and Deep Learning courses for final year undergraduates in TU Dublin (Tallaght campus), and would be happy to discuss questions in this area also.

Niall O'Connor: Pythonic vs O(complexity) - Which approach is best?

After spending a few weeks on Codility.com ( And not googling any of the answers! ) I have begun to question a few of my "pythonic" habits. The following topics cropped up. Pythonic vs C like, Index vs Iterator, Scale vs Simple. This talk is aimed at all levels.
