PyWorks 2008 Conference Schedule



Brian has posted the schedule for PyWorks 2008. He has put together a good mix of topics, including the cross-over with the php|works side of the conference. The presenter list includes some familiar names, and some new ones, too. Now if I could only figure out how to be in 2 places at the same time, so I could listen to Kevin Dangoor talk about ZODB and Jacob Taylor's presentation on artificial intelligence. Maybe Guido will let me borrow the time machine if I ask nicely.

Join us in Atlanta on Nov 12-14, 2008 for the first annual PyWorks conference.

Man, that schedule looks awesome! I really hope I will be able to attend this year. I have to say, it is a bit weird to have 7 PHP talks at a Python conference.

Hi, Thomas, I hope you can make it, too!

MTA publishes php|architect magazine, too, so the idea of combining the conferences came up as soon as we started planning PyWorks. There are lots of common topics, as evidenced by the "both" track.

If you've played with the ZODB and are already familiar with it, you can skip my talk. If you haven't played with the ZODB, then you're missing out on Python's most underappreciated library :)

@Kevin - It has been a while but in my previous life I did some Zope development. I haven't looked at using ZODB outside of Zope, though, and it caught my eye when you mentioned "schema evolution" in your description.

Maybe I can talk you into converting your presentation into an article for the magazine? :-)

@Doug: Just as soon as I get that Paver article done, I can work on the ZODB one :)

@Kevin - It's a deal!
