[Baypiggies] Monkey Test MonkeyType - tonight!

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday October 29th 7:00 pm*

Tonight, we will have the famous Moshe Zadka talk about how to get your
types for free!

And now, with more BayPiggies for your money -- we have added a
lightning talk about CookieCutter!
Lightning Talk Description

Cookiecutter <https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter> is a flexible
tool that can be used for project generation and customization. It is
somewhat similar to (in the Java world) Spring Boot. There are a couple
caveats to using it. First, unlike Spring Boot there is no automatic
framework and it doesn't do the kind of customization that pip
requirements.txt already does.

What does it do? Instead, however, it can create custom apps and custom Git
repository resident apps that use customized data such as - the name of
applications and files, ports, custom endpoints, actually just about
anything that someone needs to customize.

It uses a very simple json file to create pairs of substitute names and
values. These names can be used to represent a directory, or a file or text
within a file. Or a port. Or even part of a directory or file name which
gives it a lot of customization power.
Lightning Speaker bio: Richard Katz

I am an engineering and business programmer, a software and data engineer
with Spark, Pandas, Flask and Django. I have used more languages than I can
list here. My best friend, a LISP programmer who helped develop SQL, told
me it would be good for me to learn Python. I immediately loved Guido's
tutorials and Raymond Hettinger's example called: "Eight Queens, Six
Lines." I am a big advocate of Jupyter, I like thinking about Princeton in
the 1940s. I do a lot of reading about Python books and I'm writing one.
