Brad has an incredible amount of experience with Python and Django. He's been an active hub.py member since his family relocated to the Spartanburg, SC area.
We're excited to have him present this month about the Django ORM.
The official abstract from Brad:
Django is the most popular web framework for python and the most full featured. This talk will focus on one of it's powerful tools, the Object Relational Mapper (ORM), that allows you to interface with a relational database entirely from your python application. One of Django's strengths is its consistent release schedule adding new features and API improvements on a regular basis. There is a new release every 8 months, with Long Term Support (LTS) versions every two years. This means that the ORM Is constantly evolving and improving. This talk will look specifically at how two features, Conditional Aggregates and Subqueries have evolved over time, with a glimpse of the future. We will look at both performance characteristics and the cleanliness and expressiveness of the API.
