TOPICS FOR NEXT EVENT

Concurrency and Parallelism in Modern Python
By: Jeremy Shefer
Experience Level: Advanced

I want to start broadly about what concurrency is, how it's implemented on the hardware level and what concurrency paradigms are available out there on various programming languages. I will then zoom into what's available in modern python. Hopefully this will give people a good understanding of the current concurrency landscape in python and how and why it came to be.

Method Binding in Python
By: Andrew Wingate
Experience Level: Intermediate

In this talk, we’ll explore method binding in Python. What really happens when you put a function inside a class? At first glance, it may look like just another function, but Python transforms it into a method by automatically handling the binding between the function and the class instance. 
We'll explore notions of self, some __methods__, and a little of what Python does under the hood.
