PyCon SE 2015 - Second day - Auditorium

Keynote of the second day of PyCon SE 2015

Guillermo Carrasco and Robin Andeer Target audience: Advanced users The first part will focus on how Python manages the preprocessing and analysis of billions of DNA sequences in a completely automated way. We will also cover how sequencing results are visualised using Flask and MongoEngine to solve medical mysteries in the clinic today.

Nicole White Target audience: Advanced users Flask, a popular Python web framework, has many tutorials available online that use an SQL database to store information about the website’s users and their activities. In this session, we’ll use Neo4j instead of SQL to build social aspects into our application, including recommending similar users to the logged-in user.

Kenneth Reitz Target audience: Advanced users Python’s ecosystem is held up to a high standard, but it falls short in a few key areas. A handful of crucial APIs are an absolute pain to work with. We’ll go over where these APIs went wrong and learn about strong and elegant API design. The high barriers to entry in Python will be discussed. Potential solutions will be proposed.

Emil Stenström Target audience: Advanced users When you love something very much, you run the risk of losing perspective. This is my chance to take on a more negative view of Django, and talk about its worst parts. I will talk about five problem areas: Async, Components, NoSQL, Isomorphic apps, and Single codebase.

Vlad Temian Target audience: Advanced users GitFs is an open-source filesystem which was designed to bring the full powers of Git to everyone, no matter how little they know about versioning. In this talk we will take a look at some of the crucial aspects involved in building a reliable FUSE filesystem, the steps that we took in building GitFs, especially in handling the git objects, what testing methods we have used for it and also we will share the most important lessons learned while building it.
