PyConBY 2021 (March 13) Online Conference

Meet our General Partner – @ISsoftglobal is an IT company focuses on top-notch IT-solutions for North American & European markets. 100 of clients trust ISsoft to work on product development, data and analytics, ML, mobile app development, DevOps and cloud, Salesforce development.

🤗 @wargaming_net is the online game developer and publisher headquartered in Nicosia, Cyprus. Their flagship product – the massively popular free-to-play hit World of Tanks – was created in Minsk which still remains “the development headquarters” for the game.

Why & how to adopt best practices for ML projects? How to automate continuous integration & ML-models delivery to get better codebase structure & to do data management? Why to do code review of experimental code? @AI_Kho_ tries to answer these questions by sharing his experience.

We thank our partner @ManningBooks - an independent publisher of computer books for software developers, engineers, architects, system administrators, managers and all who are professionally involved with the computer business. Learn more 👉 manning.com

PyTorch Lightning reduces the engineering boilerplate & resources required to implement state-of-the-art AI. In the talk, @JirkaBorovec starts with an overview of Deep Learning & shares practical Lightning examples to demonstrate how to train DL models with less boilerplate.

We would like to thank @ThePSF for its support and input! The mission of PSF is to promote, protect, advance the Python programming language, & to support, facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers 👉 python.org/psf/

Do you like word games? Join the keynote @joelgrus to find out how to use Python first to "cheat", then to more deeply explore the space of puzzles and solutions. 👉 by.pycon.org

@pyconby @wargaming_net @voidexp What is you YouTube link?

On March 13 at @pyconby you can attend the talk by Ivan Nikolaev @voidexp. Remember the Nintendo Entertainment System? Ivan will show how to make your own compiled programming language in Python for NES and make the development of retro games simpler and funnier!

@t8z5h3 @wargaming_net @voidexp The recordings will be published on our Youtube channel within 2 months after the event. Stay tuned!

@wargaming_net @pyconby @voidexp Can you record it and post it to a YouTube channel?

Do you remember NES (aka "Dendy")? @voidexp shows you how it worked & how games for it were made. But to keep your sanity in place, there'll be almost no assembly. Instead, you'll learn how to make your own compiled programming language in Python, to make the game dev fun again!

@anthonypjshaw covers the update to Pyjion project, JIT compiler for CPython byte-code. After making no gains in performance, with recent changes to CPython it's been restarted & is showing big performance gains vs. standard CPython. Is it worth it & what're the gains to be made?

Many systems we build fail to account for performance, error rates, data correctness, or other customer reliability needs. The talk by @andriod discusses the basics of service level objectives by comparing them to ordinary functional specifications. 👉 by.pycon.org

Strengths & weaknesses of Python lend themselves to a different style of object-oriented programming. By accepting some constraints on how we design & implement classes, we make our code more robust, testable, & easier to adapt to the circumstances. Join @moshezadka for more 🤓

Make good use of your time! Pick your favorite talks - the schedule is on the webpage 👉 by.pycon.org 🔷 top-libs Typer, Hummingbird, Diagrams 🔷 Django Ninja framework 🔷 tools for monitoring ML models 🔷 EdgeDB with AsyncIO 🔷 DL with Pytorch Lightning & a lot more!

Let's talk about the production monitoring of ML models! With @axsaucedo you'll cover monitoring techniques applied into deployed ML models, & more advanced paradigms to monitor the models through concept drift, outlier detector & explainability. Hands-on examples included :)

Aren't you tired of counting ratings in your recommendation systems yet? Let's take a step away from "dry" ratings & try to understand the surrounding contexts. In Artem's practice, adding context has helped increase conversions, but what will you get? 👉 by.pycon.org

Check out the talk about aspect-based sentiment analysis in e-commerce to find out how it is used for goods review analysis. Andrey Tkachenya will consider the solution based on BERT transformation & the development of a service for deploying the resulting model.

How do you keep an eye on your ML model performance? In her talk @EmeliDral will share what new failure modes to prepare for, and how to set up model monitoring using open-source tools. 👉 by.pycon.org

What is the Diagrams and why use it? Diagrams lets you draw the cloud system architecture in Python code. Its author @mingrammer will introduce it and share how it was designed and built. 👉 by.pycon.org

Do you contribute to open-source projects? Or maybe you're an open-source maintainer already? Surely being a new open-source contributor or maintainer has its own challenges. In her inspiring talk, @mariatta will share her own journey & the things she's learned along the way.
