Monthly Meetup - Databases!

We'll be talking about databases. Please BRING YOUR LAPTOP

Kurt will give a lightning talk on a few database concepts and why PostgreSQL should be your go to database.

Mike said something about Twisted and async database calls so he may do a lightning talk as well.

Pizza and drinks will be provided by Arts Management Systems Ltd.

SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and a UI

By: David McKeone

Want to learn how to build a small database-backed application quickly? This will be the talk/dojo for you. This will be an interactive presentation where you partner up and build a small web app using a PostgreSQL database.

Setup:

---------------

We'll be starting with a basic Flask boilerplate:

https://github.com/sunscrapers/flask-boilerplate

If possible, try and get PostgreSQL installed from here:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/

If you're using Mac or Windows and you don't know which installer to pick, choose the EnterpriseDB graphical installer. Make sure you don't forget the password you set it up with!

If you already have PostgreSQL setup, but don't have PgAdmin (or don't know how to execute direct SQL commands) then download PgAdmin as well:

https://www.pgadmin.org/download/

We'll do our best to get everyone setup with the database before we get started.
