I'm excited to announce that I'm taking on the role of local chair for #PyConAfrica this year.
It'll be in early October or late September in my home town, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Since it is in SA, the #PyConZA team are going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. There has been a PyConZA conference every year since 2012 so the team is very experienced and well established. There are a lot of useful mechanisms already in place, but there is still a lot to be done.
I've just published my latest newsletter. Here is the online version: https://buff.ly/3pVuWbP
It covers a few conferences: #PyConNA #PyConAfrica #PyConZA; a few of my recent articles, some new offerings from #PreludeTech and an invitation to a free webinar.
Hope you find it interesting!
A long time ago, I started writing a series of articles aiming to share a how I approach teaching and education system design. Here is the latest:
This article starts to tie together a lot of the stuff I've spoken about before. It introduces an algorithm that teachers can follow in their interactions with students/learners.
I have spoken about this before in different places. Most recently as part of my keynote at #DjangoCon US and a talk I did at #PyConZA.
I'll be running a full day workshop at #PyConZA this year. The focus will be on building and testing modern web applications with #Python, #HTMX, #Playwright and #AlpineJS. Ticket sales are open and spaces are limited.
#PyConZA launched an opportunity grant program this year. The goal is open doors for people who usually would not be able to afford to attend the event. I've personally benefitted a lot from attending conferences and plugging into the #Python community in different ways, this stuff is powerful!
