Hi everyone!

We're looking forward to our monthly Python meeting again this evening!

*When:* 5.45pm for 6pm today (Monday 4th July)

*Where:* VLSCI Seminar Room, Ground Floor, 700 Swanston Street, Carlton

*How to get there:* Take a tram 5-10 mins north from Melbourne Central
station.

*What:*

1. Visual Studio Code for Python development: Don Jayamanne

Don is the lead developer of the Python extension for Visual Studio Code (
http://donjayamanne.github.io/pythonVSCode/). Visual Studio Code is a
cross-language IDE built from the ground up using open source technologies
such as NodeJS. Don is going to give an overview of the Python extension,
demos of some of its features (including linters, debuggers, and support
for virtual environments), and invite feedback on its future development.

2. Parallel computing with Dask: Ed Schofield

Dask is a lightweight pure-Python parallel computing library. It is
relatively new (about 18 months) but is rapidly becoming a core piece of
infrastructure for Python packages like scikit-image. It provides parallel
arrays and dataframes, originally for analytics, but its scope has since
broadened out. This introductory talk is aimed at beginners to parallel
processing and those who have used packages like `multiprocessing`,
`ipyparallel`, or `mpi4py`.

3. Lightning talks!

We'll have space for a few lightning talks (2 mins each). If you've been
thinking about giving a talk but hesitating, this is your chance!


After the talks we'll head to a restaurant on Lygon Street for dinner /
drinks.

We hope to see you there! :-)

Cheers,
    Ed
