Montreal 2024 sessions

Hands-on Kubernetes

English training

Kubernetes is how you run Docker in production. Bring your laptop with Docker for Windows or Docker for Mac installed. We'll walk through getting a K8s cluster fired up on Docker-Desktop or Minikube, and on Azure. You'll be hosting Docker containers in development and production in no time.

Scaling the Testing Pyramid in TypeScript

English session - Advanced

Unit tests? Integration tests? Mocks? Stubs? Fakes? How does this apply to the web? Let's look at all the ways you can test a web app and demo all the tools you'd use. We'll live-code most tests to show you exactly what makes a good testing strategy. You'll leave with a GitHub repo you can use to keep learning or fork and use in your own PWAs.

The Culture of Python

English session - Beginner

In this talk we don't look at the syntax of Python; that's the easy part. In this talk we look at the culture. What libraries should we use for hosting a web api? For data access? For data science? For script automation? Where do I download these packages? We'll focus a lot on Jupyter, the interactive REPL for Python and more. Getting started with Python can be fun and rewarding, and open up a whole new set of skills and solutions.
