1 Making Python faster - using type hints
Tushar will lead us through:
A brief history of type hints
Using type checkers to verify your type hints
Compiling type checked Python to make it faster
Some examples of libraries and the speedups they get from type hints
We'll be looking at mypy/mypyc.
Audience Level: intermediate, ie understand Python constructs,
functions, control flow, etc.
Tushar has been a long term Python developer, OSS contributor, author
and speaker. He has been working with static analysis and type checkers
for the past 3 years, and has contributed to various PSF-projects such
as black and mypy.
2 SOLID's Dependency Inversion Principle
Olaf will complete the current Software Craftsmanship series on the
SOLID Principles with a session on the Dependency Inversion Principle.
This one is particularly fascinating, because at first-glance the
inversion seems to be asking us to do things backwards. With
understanding, we realise that it is an impressive device enabling us to
focus on what is needed by the 'layer' of more valuable components,
rather than the lower-level, eg UIs and external interfaces (need
refresher? see
https://www.bmc.com/blogs/solid-design-principles/)
Audience Level: advanced, ie understand programming constructs,
patterns, principles, etc.
Olaf needs no introduction having generously brought us the earlier
sessions in his "Software Craftsmanship" series over the last two years.
Let's complete this exercise in dogged-persistence and round things off
neatly - if you remember, this talk was originally scheduled last month,
but technical-gremlins got in the way! Also, please tell us what topics
you'd like to cover at this skill-level in future...
Please come, and come with a collegial frame-of-mind. Questions and conversation will be the order of the day. If you are more confident in
Python, your constructive advice, suggestions, and alternate approaches
will be valued ...
