Python Łódź #62
Cześć!
Zapraszamy Was na spotkanie, które odbędzie się **28 stycznia 2026** roku o godzinie **18:00** w **IndieBI, Piotrkowska 157A**, Hi Piotrkowska.
Podczas spotkania odbędą się niezwykle ciekawe prezentacje:
**1\. Say No to Notebooks \- Magdalena Nowak**
Jupyter Notebooks are widely used by data scientists and machine learning engineers. They're easy to use and seem perfect for research focused tasks and are often the first environment for data professionals learning Python. However, their advantages can quite easily become a huge problem as the projects grow and move towards production. In my talk I will share insights based on real challenges I've faced during my years working with data science teams, underlining the disadventages of using notebooks as well as present best practices for transitioning out of the research phase in a smooth way.
**2\. Monorepozytoria w Pythonie \- Tomasz Wrona**
Monorepozytoria (monorepo) stają się coraz popularniejszym podejściem w świecie Pythona, pozwalającym wygodnie zarządzać wieloma pakietami w jednym repozytorium. Podczas tej prezentacji pokażę nowoczesny sposób na budowę i utrzymanie monorepo w Pythonie z użyciem uv workspaces oraz dodatkowych narzędzi wspierających codzienne zadania. Uczestnicy dowiedzą się, jak jasno rozdzielać zależności, korzystać z jednego lockfile’a i znacząco przyspieszyć CI dzięki równoległemu testowaniu tylko tych pakietów, które faktycznie się zmieniły. Omówione zostaną także techniki tworzenia lżejszych obrazów Dockera i skracania czasu budowania. To praktyczna propozycja dla zespołów, które chcą skalować swoje procesy developerskie, zachowując przejrzystość i szybkie tempo iteracji.
Agenda:
18:00 - Rozpoczęcie i sprawy organizacyjne
18:15 - Prezentacja 1
19:00 - Przerwa
19:30 - Prezentacja 2
20:15 - Networking
**Zaproś innych!**
Powiedz znajomym o tym wydarzeniu i zaproś ich do dołączenia do naszego meetupu oraz na serwer Discord. Razem stworzymy jeszcze większą i silniejszą społeczność!

CTF-y z Hakierspejsem
Kolejne spotkanie z serii wymiany wiedzy podczas wspólnego rozwiązywania zadań CTF – jest to świetna zabawa pozwalająca równocześnie rozwinąć wiedzę w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Poziom trudności CTF-owego zadania ustalimy na początku spotkania. Najprawdopodobniej wybierzemy coś z platformy Hack The Box, do której Hakierspejs ma dostęp premium. Spotykamy się co 2 tygodnie w środę w spejsie.

Hack The Box Meetup: No 11
At the meetings we try to expand our knowledge in cybersecurity by solving CTF (Capture The Flag) on the HackTheBox platform. We meet every 2 weeks on Wednesday. We invite all interested people, regardless of their level! We do not have an agenda for the meeting, we will determine during which machine we will do.
We focus mainly on practice, so you need to actively participate in the meeting:
* bring your laptop with you
* prepare a virtual machine with Kali Linux (or any system you like, but systems with the Linux kernel will be best)

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way

HTML5 Master Series (Class 02 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
**The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:**
**Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5**
This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document.
* **Topics**:
* **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact.
* **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes.
* **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body.
* **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br).
* **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a).
* **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website.
**Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration**
Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia.
* **Topics**:
* **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article.
* **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height.
* **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags.
* **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths.
* **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file.
**Class 3: Forms and User Input**
This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input.
* **Topics**:
* **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes.
* **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit).
* **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button.
* **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern.
* **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation.
**Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling**
The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible.
* **Topics**:
* **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values.
* **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets.
* **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout.
* **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment.
