Melbourne Python - August Gather Round

Our monthly meetup has rolled around again!

With everyone making the most of the chilly weather at Melbourne and having wrapped up the last financial year, do you know what we can do to unwind and chill from the hustle and bustle? Say hello and mingle with fellow Python enthusiasts in Melbourne!

This is a group tailored for developers, data scientists, web programmers, and everyone passionate about Python. We're keen to discuss how Python as a versatile language simplifies complexities, cuts down development time, and empowers projects ranging from web development to artificial intelligence.

Join us at 5:30pm on Tuesday, August 20th at Judo Bank, in the Queen and Collins building, Level 26/376-390 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia (https://maps.app.goo.gl/A9JQTYGrMqGn8AzAA)
Please note: Building entrance is located just next door to Rustica cafe. Press level 26 and you'll certainly find us.

Our agenda for the evening will be:

• 5:30 - 6pm - Networking, pizza and drinks
• 6:00 - 6:15pm - Welcome and Updates
• 6:15 - 6:45 - Talk 1 by Akshat Soni - Postgraduate Cybersecurity Student on "RESTful API Development using Python & Django": This will be a beginner friendly talk explaining Django Architecture, How API works?, with a demo.
• 6:45 - 7pm - Grab a new drink, meet someone new and get ready for the last talk of the night.
• 7 - 7:30 pm - Talk 2 by Samuel Tseitkin - Co-Founder @ ExeQuantum on "Intro to Post Quantum Cryptography with Python": The talk will be giving a quick overview of Quantum Computers, their impact on society as a whole, then diving into Qiskit - a Python Quantum Computer simulator library by IBM. We will be showing how to do some basic operations with Qiskit. If there is time, we will then quickly overview QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) and do a Python implementation of it.
• Door closes at 8pm.
