The meeting is conducted by Python engineers at the top of their field and the country is also selected based on the work of these very engineers in that area. The hosts have promised that this year’s edition will be bigger and more comprehensive than last year’s as it offers a diverse range of speakers, activities and involvement from the local Python community.
It offers an incredible opportunity for bussing engineers wanting to work in the field of Python designing to feed off the knowledge of these engineers and have various discussions with them. The event provides an amazing chance for renowned engineers to educate the young and new engineers and giving them advice accordingly. This would include discoursing on the analysis for Python and their own contribution to the language. The event will also focus on matters such as the Timeline of Python as well as old codes and access to the old Library. With further access to Frameworks and Paradigms this can truly seem to be a once in a lifetime experience to most Python engineers.
Last year’s event included speakers such as the David Beazley – Author of Python Essential Reference, Raymond Hettinger – Python Core Developer, and Yasser Bashir – Founder & CEO of Arbisoft. The conference will host key international and local Python developers as speakers that include, Travis Oliphant – American Data Scientist & Businessman, Luciano Ramalho – Author of Fluent Python, Yasser Bashir – Founder and CEO of Arbisoft, and Muhammad Nasrullah, Founder of Integry & Python Supporter.
The event will be held at the University of Central Punjab in Lahore and can be accessible for both understudies and experts alike. The prices range from PKR 2,000 and PKR 4,500 respectively. For anyone wanting to dwell in the realm of Python as a career option, this conference seems to be absolutely imperative to take part in for all developers across the country.
