Making Python Programs Blazingly Fast
Python haters always say, that one of reasons they don't want to use it, is that it's slow. Well, whether specific program - regardless of programming language used - is fast or slow is very much dependant on developer who wrote it and their skill and ability to write optimized and fast programs. So, let's prove some people wrong and let's see how we can improve performance of our Python programs and make them really fast!
Numba makes Python 1000x faster! 
In this video I introduce the absolute minimum you need to know about Numba which is a just in time compiler for a subset of Python and Numpy. The first half of the video is dedicated to a basic intro and to highlighting a number of very common mistakes people make when using Numba. The remaining video presents a real world-ish simulation problem, shows up to a 1000x acceleration with Numba in both single and multithreaded cases, and concludes with a "reading list" for learning more about Numba.
How to use Flask with gevent (uWSGI and Gunicorn editions)
Create asynchronous Flask application and run it with uWSGI or Gunicorn behind Nginx reverse proxy.
Introduction to ASGI: Emergence of an Async Python Web Ecosystem
There's a lot of exciting stuff happening in the Python web development ecosystem right now — one of the main drivers of this endeavour is ASGI, the Asynchronous Standard Gateway Interface. This post is targeted at people interested in recent trends of Python web development. It takes you on a guided tour about what ASGI is and what it means for modern Python web development.
Develop an Intuition for Severely Skewed Class Distributions
An imbalanced classification problem is a problem that involves predicting a class label where the distribution of class labels in the training dataset is not equal. Differences in the class distribution for an imbalanced classification problem will influence the choice of data preparation and modeling algorithms. Therefore it is critical that practitioners develop an intuition for the implications for different class distributions. In this tutorial, you will discover how to develop a practical intuition for imbalanced and highly skewed class distributions.
Robot development with Jupyter
This post shows the available tools in the Jupyter ecosystem to build advanced visualizations in Jupyter Notebooks and standalone web apps using Voilá, and how to deploy those apps to the robotics cloud.

Upcoming Events and Webinars
Austin Python Meetup January 2020 - Austin, TX
Jupyter notebooks are excellent for exploration, particularly for analytics and visualization. However, when it comes to developing a library or self-contained code, we can find ourselves copying and pasting to our favorite text editor or IDE. In this presentation Leanne Fitzpatrick will present nbdev, an elegant solution to this problem developed by fast.ai.
CI/CD for Python on AWS - Glen Allen, VA
We are going to be demonstrating 1) how to setup a Continuous Integration pipeline for a Python application and 2) how to implement Continuous Deployment using Python/Boto3 on AWS.
PyMNtos Python Presentation Night #80 - Minneapolis, MN
