Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Functional programming is a complex topic to dive into. However, there are 3 simple ideas from functional/declarative code that you can apply to your own code today - without becoming a Haskell expert! This video dives into the details and show you a few examples in Python of how you can use these ideas in both object-oriented and functional/procedural code.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a passwordless authentication system using Twilio Verify, SendGrid, Django, and Python. The proposed authentication system will require users to verify their identity using a one-time password.

pandas is a powerful data analysis library with a rich API that offers multiple ways to perform any given data manipulation task. Some of these approaches are better than others, and pandas users often learn suboptimal coding practices that become their default workflows.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up logging in Python using the built-in logging module. You’ll learn the basics of logging, logging variable values and exceptions, configuring custom loggers and formatters, and more.

This post shows the complete code (in Python3) of how a very simple optimizer for sequences of operations can work. These algorithms could be part of a (really simple) compiler, or a JIT. The architecture of the code in this post is very similar to that of the trace optimizer of the PyPy JIT: After a trace is produced, is is optimized before being sent to the machine code backend that produces binary instructions for the CPU architecture that PyPy is running on.

Learn how to build a persistently authenticated Python CLI using Click, Rich and more.

Because VS Code can run in the browser, Dev Containers, along with Github Codespaces, also allow you to develop from almost anywhere. They’re great for standardizing development across a team. They can also make working on several repos at once much easier because each repo can have its own specific environment for development.
