Dear friends, we're happy to invite you to a big meetup with some well-known Python contributors. Here is the plan:

18:30: Doors open, snacks, drinks

19:00: Giacomo Debidda - Reactive dashboards with Plotly Dash

20:00 Stefan Behnel - Get native with Cython

21:00: Drinks & Networking

Talks

1. Giacomo Debidda - Reactive dashboards with Plotly Dash

If you work with data, you have probably heard of Shiny, an amazing library to create web dashboards in R. 

Python has a great ecosystem for data science, but there wasn't a tool capable of rivaling the ease of use of Shiny. Dash, built with Flask and React.js, is the Shiny for Python. In this talk, we will see how you can write a Dash web app in a few hundred lines of Python code.

2. Stefan Behnel - Get native with Cython

Cython is not just a Python compiler or a native code wrapping tool, but also a programming language in its own right that mixes Python with C and C++. The fact that you can simply drop Python code into it and compile it gives a very low entry level into performance optimisation by statically compiling your critical code, and then tuning it into fast C to make it run faster. This special support for gradual native optimisation has made Cython one of the corner stones of the Python data ecosystem.

In this talk, we will see how the compilation of regular Python code leads to faster execution, and how to make the code run much faster.
