Give Python Programming a Go - 14:30, Wed 22/01 - CSE/069

Come along and learn how to program in Python with HackSoc!

With no previous experience required, we'll introduce programming using the popular Python programming language. It'll be taught by our very own HackSoc committee, and you're sure to learn loads which can be used just for fun or for a great point on your CV!

Talk - "Building Applications at Planet Scale - Developing for the Cloud" by Daniel Vaughan - 19:00, Thu 23/01 - LMB/002A

Cloud-Native Computing has drastically changed the speed and efficiency with which developers can deploy their applications. This talk will demonstrate how technologies like Docker & Kubernetes make use of abstraction, isolation & orchestration to improve the developer experience. Participants will learn about the issues of traditional application deployment, and go on a journey through containerisation, automation & scalability to learn how to build a modern application in the cloud. This presentation is interactive - get ready to stress-test a website!
