Ok, I lied, I still write tests. But instead of the example-based tests that we normally write, have you heard of property-based testing? By using Hypothesis, instead of thinking about what data I should test it for, it will generate test data, including boundary cases, for you.

Several 5 minutes talks from the conference participants.

"Cron jobs are great! they can save your life and your marriage, they run day and night with any weather and they never miss a shot. But when they become too many it can be a real mess and have you ever tried running a cron job in a container ? The first time I tried Celery I was a bit frustrated, setup is not exactly straight forward and the first time can be really hard but if do not give up the final result is amazing and you will end up with a huge power in your hands."

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is a testing practice that makes it easy for developers, managers and QA testers to keep track of the key features in a programming project. The talk will provide an introduction to BDD and show to how incorporate it into a project by using `behave`.

Interactive Lectures and Active Learning with Python in Scientific Computing. Teaching programming can be significantly improved if lectures and courses use concepts from active learning. During the last years, I have transitioned from static to interactive slides using Jupyter Notebooks, where students can interact with the material during the lecture. The lectures also contain exercises that the students can perform during the lecture to reinforce their learning process. In some of our libraries, we have also developed interactive functions that enable the students to quickly modify parameters in the computational codes.

"Python for Everyone" is a program I came up to help women from immigrant communities & for people who are from other industry, to move into IT. I will talk about how & what I am organizing as part of PyLadies Stockholm, problems, successes and how to improve.

"Data is becoming one of the most valuable assets of companies and organisations. Needless to say, the importance of being able to work with data is also increasing. To be data literate is about being able to understand and draw insights from data. Python is a key enabler in building the foundation for this. In this session I will go through some different levels of data literacy and how more people can get inspired to work with data and insights with the help of Python."

PyScript is an open source project to bring Python to the browser - the most ubiquitous computing platform in the world. This talk introduces PyScript, explains how it works, the current state of development and what you can expect to see coming in the short, medium and long term.

"Data is an essential part of our work, be it data science, development, UI/product design. It comes in different forms and shapes, represents different concepts and ideas, yet more often than not we stick to limited amount of ways to represent, store, visualize, and query it. Graph databases provide a different perspective on the data that we have, and a way to represent it that puts focus on relationships between entities, highlighting that which might be otherwise overlooked. This can help us to find optimal, simple, and elegant solutions to what might appear to be a hard problem otherwise. In this presentation I would like to share the knowledge and experience of the past few years of me working on applying graph databases to the data and problems, in hope that it will help more people to look at their data in a different way."
