Roll up, roll up. Three great talks for our early summer talk...

“One million connections isn’t cool, you know what’s cool? One connection.”

Ajax was first released in 2005 in Internet Explorer 5, so why are we still polling a web server for new data a decade later? WebSockets are a new protocol which can be invoked to provide a single constant connection between a client and server, allowing messages to be sent in both directions. This talk is an introduction to Websockets - what they are, how they work, where they’re useful and how to use them in Python.

Simon Hewitt

Simon is a software engineer in Belfast. He’d tell you where he works but to be honest he changes jobs often enough this information would probably be out of date before the event.

"Writing APIs with Django and Flask: a comparison"

This talk will concern a brief comparison of different frameworks in Python for writing a API - Django and Flask - and will see the pros and cons of both.

Rebecca Martin

Rebecca Martin is a junior backend developer in Flexera, who has worked with APIs with Flask and Django and has worked with data processors in Python for Project Lintol.

"Growing with Flask"

Most people are familiar with Flask as a microframework that’s often used for small projects, but with some care and attention it’s possible to scale Flask to meet almost any requirements. This talk will explore Flask from the perspective of a growing application, walking through the life of a Flask application as it scales with increasing load and/or an expanding team.

Paddy Carey

Paddy is a Lead Engineer at ShopKeep in Belfast, leading a small team that focusses on meeting the complex reporting needs of merchants on the ShopKeep platform. Paddy is the organiser of a number of local meetups, trying to help increase collaboration and sharing within the local tech community. He can often be found in his shed late at night, trying to debug some ill-advised piece of code with his rubber duck that, honestly, he probably should never have written in the first place.
