SPEAKERS & TALKS
-------------

# Django with CI/CD by Alex Zhang

Abstract: A walkthrough of how we deploy Django apps (with or without an Angular frontend) using Docker and GitlabCI.

# How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love atomic() by Nick Sweeting

Abstract: Did you know every Django app already behaves like a distributed system, even when it’s running only on one server? In this talk I’ll go over some of the distributed systems & database fundamentals that you’ll neeed to understand when building a Python project that handles sensitive data.

SPEAKER BIOS
-------------

Alex is a developer at an agency that prefers the use of Django in their projects.

Nick dropped out of high school in Shanghai to start coding, and have been founding and working at startups in San Francisco, Portland, Montreal, and NYC ever since. He’s been working with Django since his first under-the-table gig for a Shanghainese food-delivery startup, but has carried those skills with me from the healthcare and agriculture industries, to now the online gaming and blockchain worlds by cofounding a poker startup in Medellín called OddSlingers. He loves making mistakes and asking stupid questions, it’s the best way to learn!
