Name: PyBerlin 56 - December event
Start: 2025-12-02T17:30:00.000Z
Location: w3 Hub

In this workshop, we will first study the relationship between an AI Agent and an AI model. Then, by some hands-on exercises, we will learn how to choose the right model for building your own AI Agent; and how to build an AI Agent from scratch.

This workshop is designed for participants to be creative and come up with their own unique AI agent ideas. We will only provide the basic knowledge and techniques needed to build an AI agent and guidance for problem-solving.

By building an AI Agent and comparing AI models, we will learn more about how an AI Agent works and all the things we need to know when considering building an AI Agent for commercial use.

**Agenda:**
18:30 - Walk In
19:00 - Workshop
20:30 - End of Workshop (Networking)
21:00 - Closing

PyLadies Winter Meetup

inovex Gmbh 

We are continuing our Study group online for the time being.
We are now meeting online in the San Diego Python Discord server! Here is the link to join: [https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ](https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ)
There is a "meetup" voice/video channel that we will be using!

We may start meeting in person soon! This will be discussed at the meetup. We are considering having some online, some in-person. Decisions, decisions!

Every Saturday we meet up with the larger Python community (including San Diego PyLadies (http://www.meetup.com/sd-pyladies), Open BioInformatics San Diego (https://www.meetup.com/Open-Bioinformatics-SanDiego/) and San Diego Artificial Intelligence (https://www.meetup.com/SanDiegoAI/)) to chat, learn, and hang out.

Our study group is for everyone on their Python journey, whether you're just starting out, an experienced pro, or anywhere in between. There's no formal instruction, just a bunch of folks who like to code. Sometimes we talk about a specific subject, sometimes answer questions, whatever!

Python Community Code of Conduct (http://www.pythonsd.org/coc): Python is much more than a software language. Python is a vibrant community made up of members from around the globe with a diverse set of skills, personalities, and experiences. It is through these differences that our community experiences great successes and continued growth. Overall, we're good to each other. We contribute to this community not because we have to, but because we want to.

**PyBerlin: December’s event**

**Location: W3.Hub, 4th floor**

**Agenda:**
6:30 pm – Doors open: snacks, drinks, networking
6:55 pm - Welcome from PyBerlin
7:00 pm - Welcome from the sponsor - Bluefish AI
7:10 pm – How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Generators // Paweł Wiszniewski
Python’s generators offer a simple, elegant way to build lightweight data pipelines. In this talk, we’ll break down generator functions and expressions and walk through practical Data Engineering examples: streaming large datasets in chunks, transforming records without exhausting memory, and using yield for clean setup and teardown. A concise tour of how generators can make data workflows more efficient—and more elegant.

Speaker's bio:
Paweł is a Senior Data Engineer and founding member of the Data Platform team at Flink SE, where he builds tools and processes that empower data scientists, analysts, and business teams across the company.

7:40 pm – Moving beyond Slop Coding // Matt Harrison
AI can type faster than you. However, it has been trained on lots of naive or poor code (and a little decent code). Let's explore how you can take advantage of software engineering (and Python) best practices to help tame the bias of the AIs.

Speaker's bio:
Matt teaches Python and Data Science. He has a CS degree from Stanford University. He is a best-selling author on Python and Data subjects. His books: Effective Pandas, Illustrated Guide to Learning Python 3, Intermediate Python, Learning the Pandas Library, and Effective PyCharm have all been best-selling books on Amazon. He just published Machine Learning Pocket Reference and Pandas Cookbook (Second Edition). He has taught courses at large companies (Netflix, NASA, Verizon, Adobe, HP, Exxon, and more), Universities (Stanford, University of Utah, BYU), as well as small companies. He has been using Python since 2000 and has taught thousands through live training both online and in person.

8:10 pm – Why is your Python code slow? Recommendations for improving performance // Cristián Maureira
Abstract:
It's very likely that throughout your journey with Python, you've heard people say that Python is slow. While there is a gap between interpreted and compiled languages ​​that favors compiled languages, Python has ways to improve the performance of your programs, but these aren't widely known among coders.
In this talk, we'll explore some tools and programming patterns that will help you improve the performance of your programs, thereby improving the speed of your applications, tests, and products.
After the presentation, you'll have a list of techniques you can apply to your code, as well as the necessary steps to continue exploring code optimization.
No prior knowledge of code profilers or advanced techniques is required to attend this talk.

8:40 pm - Networking
9:10 - closing

This event will be only in-person. Please check our Code of Conduct and official health regulation in Berlin before coming. If you feel some signs of sickness, please consider skipping this event and attending another time. We will have plenty of events in different formats in the future.
Looking forward seeing you all!
