This was a Pybites email first. To always get the latest and greatest content, subscribe here. Lately I have been learning some new libraries for weekly PDM Code Clinic demo sessions (e.g. PyScript, Flet, PySimpleGUI, Playwright, htmx, Redis, Leaflet, etc.) There is a general approach I take that makes this less painful and more fun. Of course having done development for quite a while makes things easier, but even after years of experience this craft does not come easy per se. The following tips are still generic enough that they help developers of all levels. Let’s also time the steps…

Watch here: Or listen here: In this week’s episode we talk with Dane about packaging and the rich ecosystem of Python tooling. Dane is the author of Publishing Python Packages, a new Manning book that just came out. In our conversation we dive into some of the specific challenges and opportunities that come with packaging Python code. One of the things that we discuss is the backstory behind Dane’s book on packaging. Dane talks about how he scratched his own itch by open sourcing some packaging code that he had developed at work. He then began to explore some of…

Welcome back to the Pybites Podcast. Watch here: Or listen here: This week we have a follow up to episode 101 in which we spoke about being in control in these difficult times of corporate layoffs. In this episode we talk about the importance of the people around you, because remember, you are the “average of the 5 people with whom you hang out the most”. Leverage these 5 important people in your life, especially now! Next we move onto the concept of having a “personal board” or “circle of advisors”, a second group of people that might not be…

Listen here Or watch here (recommended because there will be code!) Welcome back to our podcast. In this week’s episode we look at Python packaging. I was teaching this on our weekly PDM Code Clinic call and we ended up building quite a useful Pybites Open Source tool. Introducing pybites-search, a command line tool to search our content (articles, Bite exercises, podcast episodes, youtube videos and tips). We look at how to build a package and some of the code + design that went into pybites-search and how open sourcing this is a double win: our PDM bot project can…

This content first appeared in our weekly newsletter. You can subscribe here. I remember a long time ago I applied for a job and … I never heard back. I applied for another job… rejected. And for yet another job one of my former colleagues got it. As I had to deal with disappointment, I found it tough to not give up, to not to question myself. Luckily, I did get myself up after multiple “failures” and kept putting in the reps letting data trump emotion (by the way, I don’t believe in the word “failure”. We learn more from…

We talk about his background in software development, how he started with Python and his journey with us in PDM.

Lastly, we talk about the books we’re currently reading. Links:– Vitrina: a portfolio development kit for DevOps– Boston Python hosts several online meetings a week– The mother of all…

This content was first sent as part of our friends email list, you can subscribe here to get this type of content early and fresh every week … Let me tell you the story of how I effectively learned foreign languages (there are a lot of parallels with how I became a developer). I was not a good language learning when I was young, heck I even flunked 6th grade in part because my English was terrible! But being bad at something does not mean it’s game over, I was using the wrong “software”. My approach was flawed: I tried…
