Description

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the season of Python popularity, it was the season of Python not being available on an important platform.

So reads the history of the last 5 years of Python. Python is enjoying a surge in popularity due to it's features as a language; but "desktop/server" split that dominated the 80s, 90s and 2000s has been joined by a third player - mobile devices such as phones and tablets - and Python doesn't have a good story for those devices.

Although there hasn't been much to say in the past, the good news is that over the last year, there's been some signficant changes in the landscape, and Python on Mobile is now teetering on the brink of being a genuine reality.

A tale of two cellphones: Python on Android and iOS

Python is enjoying a surge in popularity due to it's features as a language. However, over the last 10 years, mobile platforms have increased in importance, and Python doesn't have a good story on these platforms.

In this talk, Dr Russell Keith-Magee will give a technical dive into the work the BeeWare project has been doing to make Python as simple to use on Mobile as it is on other platforms.

Beyond Web 2.0 - Django and Python in the modern web ecosystem

Django is over 10 years old; but the web that it was built for doesn't really exist any more. Yes, we still need to rapidly develop database-backed websites, and we still need those sites to use AJAX, but the modern web is faced with new problems, and new challenges. Many of those challenges involve interacting with devices that aren't desktop machines, and platforms that aren't a traditional browser - places where Python isn't a first-class citizen.

Does this mean we have to abandon Django and Python for other frameworks and languages? Can we keep using Python and Django on the server side and interact with independent client side frameworks? Or can we push Python and Django into these new environments?

In this talk, Dr Russell Keith-Magee will explore the problems, and some potential solutions, to these problems.

Rapid mobile application development with Python

While there are examples of Python-based apps in mobile App stores, the knowledge of how to actually create a mobile app in Python hasn't been well documented, or simplified for mass use - until now.

In this talk, Dr Russell Keith-Magee will demonstrate a collection of tools from the BeeWare Project that enable you to build a cross-platform mobile app using Python in a matter of minutes.
