After Juan's amazing presentation in the August meeting, I think MPUG's recap of Pycon 2014 was a bit lackluster. So please come up with links to your favourite presentations from this year!
I started this email three weeks ago, but then decided to wait until the pycon au 2014 videos were available, so we could link there. Here are acouple of my Pycon AU 2014 selections, plus a couple of old ones that came up in my lightning talk: - Hacking bytecode for fun and prof... for fun.: http://pyvideo.org/video/1000/bytecode-what-why-and-how-to-hack-it (from 2011, but featured in our August session). - How to monkeypatch builtin objects: http://pyvideo.org/video/2210/dont-do-this (from 2013, but featured in our August session) - The new Computational Thinking curriculom for Australian Schools: http://pyvideo.org/video/3131/python-for-every-child-in-australia-by-dr-james-r. (If you don't have much time, start at minute 24, when the actual curriculum starts being discussed. Also minute 38 for how you can help). - The new default web stack, by one of the creators of Django: http://pyvideo.org/video/2856/a-new-default-web-stack (Unfortuely the Pycon AU talk was not recorded, but we have an earlier performance). - PyPy.js: What? How? Why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C9q94F6Uqo (For those who missed it at MPUG, and also for those who didn't, because this presentation is much better finished. Awesome also as an example of how to give a technical talk). Please add your own!
