Hi Ed Thanks for your email.
I’m new to programming but am quite interested in the presentations below. I like to be immersed in things that I understand and also haven’t got a clue ?!? Am I invited to the talks or is this just way too advanced for a newbe? Cheers Pete Dwyer From: melbourne-pug <[email protected]> on behalf of Ed Schofield <[email protected]> Reply-To: Melbourne Python Users Group <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 29 January 2018 at 8:40 am To: Melbourne Python Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: [melbourne-pug] Next Melbourne Python meeting - Monday 5 February Hi all! Our first Python meetup for 2018 is next week, Monday 5 February. We have three talks planned: 1. Fred Rotbart: Hierarchical Temporal Memory in Python (25-30 minutes) "Hierarchical Temporal Memory is a biologically-constrained theory of intelligence originally described in the book On Intelligence (Jeff Hawkins & Sandra Blakeslee). HTM is not a Deep Learning or Machine Learning technology. It is a machine intelligence framework strictly based on neuroscience and the physiology and interaction of pyramidal neurons in the neocortex of the mammalian brain." (from numenta.org). 2. Andrew Stuart: How to run your Python code in a Run-From-RAM operating system in the cloud (10 minutes) Andrew has built a system called bootrino to boot Run-From-RAM operating systems in the cloud in order to run Python code fast and securely from Google, Amazon or Digital Ocean servers. 3. Ed Schofield: Data classes: what, when, why? (15 minutes) Data classes will be a new feature of the Python 3.7 standard library that offers types similar to a mutable namedtuple with defaults. They promise to reduce the need for boilerplate code for classes which store multiple properties. We'll review data classes versus the popular attrs and traitlets projects. 4. Lightning talks & announcements When: 5.45pm for mingling; talks starting at 6pm Where: Outcome-Hub Co-Working Space Suite 1, 121 Cardigan Street, Carlton How to get there: Walk 12 minutes north from Melbourne Central station. Afterwards: general announcements and pizza. Then maybe drinks on Lygon Street. Sponsorship: many thanks to Outcome Hub for providing the venue and Python Charmers for ongoing sponsorship. Please RSVP on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ We hope to see you there! :-D Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers +61 (0)405 676 229 http://pythoncharmers.com _______________________________________________ melbourne-pug mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug
