Using properties and descriptors (In-person Presentation)

(hybrid event: please register Remote-option if you would like to attend virtually. Register here for a door-pass to attend in-person - important!)

"Using properties and descriptors" will look at a series of code-examples exploring problems and how these constructs offer solutions. The presentations are in lecture-style. If there's time (or for later study), some coding workshops will be suggested. These are relatively-advanced topics.

Prerequisite knowledge or experience for "Properties":
Object-Oriented Programming (in Python), coding custom-classes, using available decorators, some experience in data organisation/design, PEP-008 and coding styles, and reading type-hints.

Prerequisite knowledge or experience for "Descriptors":
"Properties" topic in this series, coding custom-classes with 'magic methods', implementing inheritance and composition, design-experience in data organisation, Object-Oriented Design, decent understanding of OOP philosophy.

Hints: A lab-/log-book will be useful for taking notes. A headset will ease asking questions, answering questions, and inclusive discussion with our remote colleagues. Python IDE ready for coding.

The Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Python Users' Group meets twice monthly. We have a healthy mix of Python users. Students, academics, hobbyists, industry professionals, and many completely new to Python.

The meeting will open at 1800 for an 1830 start. The front-door will be locked. Please arrive on-time to be directed to the meeting-room. See you there!

We follow the NZPUG code of conduct to create an inclusive friendly environment.

"Thank you" to generous sponsors: We use BigBlueButton for web-conferencing on NZOSS' infrastructure sponsored by CatalystCloud. We will have a door-prize courtesy of JetBrains. Inviol and IceHouse host our in-person meeting and provide refreshments.
