Joining us on this event will be the Czech Republic, Brno–based startup Skypicker ( http://www.skypicker.com ), if some of you haven't yet heard about them, they solve the problem of booking the cheapest possible route from point A to point B.

Weighting at about $100m and raising a million in February last year in their third round of fundraising is good enough of a proof that they know a great deal on solving the problem in question.

The meetup will be consisted of lightning talks with a short Q/A as standard.

After the event as usual everyone will be moving on to the Silicon Drinkabout which will be located at mr. ms. mood a pub nearby for beers and networking ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/148299095505299/ )

def program(self):

Talk 1: Jozef Képesi ( CTO at SkyPicker.com ) :: PostgreSQL

Jozef will headline the talks by giving us some insight on a database some of us have considered as a just plain old relational database of choice. Not only is it a swiss army knife database but it can do so much more than just keep track of our relational data.

Talk 2: Jiří Beneš ( Senior Python Dev @ SkyPicker ) :: Websockets in Python

For a while now python has been crippled for a good implementation of websockets, we saw tons of custom solutions from implementations on the network framework Twisted to some custom gevent solutions.Jiří will give us an introduction on how Skypicker solves this issue by using a modern stack of Python 3 + Tornado + AsyncIO and cover some of the general pitfalls as well as best practices.

Talk #5: Martin Polednik :: Python X Golang: when to switch to the dark side

Go is getting a lot of attention in the world of Python. When starting a project or improving (not only) Python codebase, it's good time to consider switching to Go. We will go over the tooling, libraries and language features to try and figure out when leaving Python behind could lead to happier developers and better code.
