7:15p - 7:30p PBJ Session
“Extracting Readable Output from Data Structures in Python Using Pretty Printing Modules” by Eileen Tallman
Pretty printing in Python creates readable output of data structures that can be parsed from the interpreter. Some of the modules that can be used for pretty printing are readily available through the Python Standard Library (i.e. pprint) or require a quick pip install (i.e. tabulate). In this talk, I will review some modules that can serve as alternatives to arduous formatting strategies that novice Python coders might implement. Basic uses will be covered along with relevant examples.

7:30p - 7:45p Right Brain Talk
"Recode your Future" by Connor Mullett
The tech world is constantly evolving and Eleven Fifty is keeping pace. The first coding bootcamp in Indiana allows individuals to take control of their lives by helping students launch new careers in tech in just 12 weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time). Rather than the typical 4-year degree built on knowledge and tests, Eleven Fifty utilizes a project-based workflow to enhance skills with immersion alongside technologies and best practices that real-world developers and cybersecurity professionals use daily.

7:45p - 8:00p Door Prizes

8:00p - 8:45p Fishbowl
We will substitute our ProTalk for this month for a Fishbowl Discussion. If you have a Python topic you want to discuss, let us know at the meeting and we'll vote on what we talk about. Topics could include: favorite Python tool, a tool used to solve a specific problem, a tool you use for it's fantastic features, etc.
