"Async python" - Robert McWilliam

Robert will go through some of the async features of python - how it compares to other concurrency models, what it can be useful for and how to use it. We'll look at some examples for file access and network traffic.

Biography

Robert is an electronic engineer who has used python for a variety of work and personal projects.

Challenge

After the talk at each APUG session we have a coding challenge for attendees - often based on the talk topic, and normally announced on the night. Challenges can be tackled in small groups or solo.

So, if you can, bring a laptop or other device that you can run Python on. If you don’t already have Python set up, we can help you with that too. Coding in pairs or small groups (especially mixing beginner and more experiences coders) is strongly encouraged, though you can also code solo.

Registration

Register for the meeting.

Keep in touch

We recommend joining our Slack group. There you can join the #APUG channel and stay in touch with other attendees, and presenters, suggest talks, and ask questions.

If you are a beginner looking to get started in Python have a look at our Learning Resources page where we recommend a free video course on Youtube.
