- *Measure It*
By: Peter Fein
measure_it provides timing and counting for iterators (and other code
segments). https://measure_it.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
- *CivicLab and Between the Bars*
(0:15:00 Minutes)
By: Benjamin Sugar
In this talk, I will present on a slice of the maker movement called
"civic making" and a new space that has opened up in Chicago to encourage
this type creation, CivicLab. As an example of "civic making" I will
discuss Between the Bars, a paper based blogging platform for those who are
incarcerated, built in Django. I will also discuss our choice in framework
and the pros/cons of our approach.
- *Monoids in Python*
(0:20:00 Minutes)
By: Philip Doctor
Monoids are largely badly explained, but actually quite beautiful. I
would like to take a brief tour of what a monoid is and how they can help
out with mundane every day tasks in python.
