*What*:
- *Getting up to speed with Dask*
By: Aaron Richter
Dask is a parallel computing library for Python people. This talk will
be a gentle introduction to Dask, showing how you can improve the speed of
data science code on your laptop with a simple "pip install". Then we will
use the same code to process big data on a cluster of machines. We will be
going through an end-to-end data science pipeline, from ETL and exploratory
analysis to machine learning model training and scoring.
We will cover:
- Example using publicly available data and single-node Python
- Pandas for data cleaning/transformation
- Scikit-learn for machine learning
- How to parallelize this workflow on a laptop and then a cluster using
Dask
- Distributed model training
- Distributed inference/scoring
- *Dangers of the Python Standard Library*

As a developer, you are the first line when it comes to security for any
products you may be building. There is often a misconception that all
software security vulnerabilities are due to misconfigurations, using
unmaintained open source libraries, using "insecure" languages, or by
making dumb mistakes like hard-coding passwords. In actuality, it can be
very easy to make potentially extreme security mistakes even only using
built-in functions and libraries bundled with the latest version of Python.
This talk will cover a number of these potential security mistakes that can
be all too easy to make.
Thank you always to our sponsors, including Braintree and JFrog. ChiPy is a
community run event and we depend on generous donations from our sponsors
