Python and Creativity (An Explorers Guide)

Marlene Mhangami

In this talk we will examine how Python programmers can be creative in the digital age. Whether it's in web development, data science or machine learning creativity is a skill that sets a good developer apart from a great one. Python as a language has been around for 32 years and it may seem like the old saying 'there is nothing new under the sun' is true since so much has been built with it. For this talk we'll look at why building off of the work of other people is essential for creativity and how open source is the thread that ties it all together.
