Python Concurrency Workshop - 2011
Well, January in Chicago can only mean one thing--that my Python Concurrency and Distributed Computing Workshop is back! If you've wanted to learn more about concurrency, threads, messaging, and other related topics, then this is the workshop for you. There also promises to be a certain amount of insanity--after all, past editions of the workshop were responsible for my whole exploration into the GIL.
Unlike a normal Python course, the concurrency workshop is more experimental in nature--tending to focus on cutting edge topics and exploration of lesser-known areas of Python programming. However, no topic is off-limits as discussions might dive into facets of C programming, operating systems, other programming languages. Needless to say, a good time will be had by all.
The course page has detailed information on the previous workshop. This year, we'll cover much of that material, but here are some exciting new highlights for 2011:
- Python 3. Want to know what Python 3 is all about? You'll find out in a big way as this year's workshop is entirely based on Python 3, preferably Python-3.2.
- Messaging. There will be significantly more material on messaging architectures. As part of that, we'll look in some depth at 0MQ, distributed key-value stores, actors, and more.
- Mondo Threads. A completely revised thread-programming section that will present Python thread programming as you've never seen it before. Prepare to be amazed.
- Reliability. There's a great deal of added information on software design and debugging techniques for reliable concurrent programming.
As usual, the course is strictly limited to 6 students and being held in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. Worried about the cold? Well, in this course, there are far more scary things to be worried about than that. Besides, the classroom is completely surrounded by coffee shops and places to get strong Belgian ales. The cold is going to be the least of your problems.
Hopefully I'll see you in Chicago. It's going to be great!
