This year 30 members of Computer Society attended PyCon 2023 in the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin.
|
||||
This year 30 members of Computer Society attended PyCon 2024 in the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin.
|
||||
PyCon is an international conference about the programming language Python.
|
||||
There are several PyCon conferences run in Europe each year, with the Dublin one being one of the largest ones.
|
||||
As such there is a large variety of top tier and distinguished presenters.
|
||||
While it is a two-day event we were only able to attend the Saturday of it.

||||
### Pablo Galindo Salgado
|
||||
#### The snake of Theseus
|
||||
Pablo was the keynote speaker for Saturday of this conference.
|
||||
His presentation was focusing on how the language itself has changed over time, so much so that the original code has all been replaced.
|
||||
Yet it is still Python.
|
||||
Even with Countless contributors over the years Python has changed, yet remained the same.
|
||||
Different syntax, personalities and methodologies have contributed to shaping the language to what it is today and inspiring it forwards into the future.

||||

|
||||
I provide individual and group classes on all of these topics as well as maths, science, and standardized test prep.

Her talk was aimed at enlightening attendees by informing them of the tools they did not know they needed, the unknown unknowns.
|
||||
She opened up the powerful functions and methods contained within the inbuilt library to show us what we had been missing before now.
|
||||
It was quite interesting seeing the emotions flash through the audience when folks realised that there were inbuilt and easier ways to handle objects and arrays.
|
||||
Everyone left the lecture hall knowing far more than they entered.

#### The death of PyCon

Steve is the founder of PyCon.

He has been the Chairman and a director of the Python Foundation.

|
||||
He had the honor of opening the Lightning Talks for the conference.
|
||||
Lightning Talks are 5-minute presentations where anyone can volunteer to present.
|
||||
|
||||
His chosen topic was ``The Death of PyCon`` where he outlined that community run events die if all the attendees stand back and watch.
|
||||
The way forward is to roll up your sleeves and pitch in, in doing so it is a far better experience for all involved.
