Talks on PyCon Ireland 2012

Posted on by

Well, as usual, this year’s PyCon Ireland has been amazing. I always get impressed by the high quality of the talks and, in general, how much the attendants know. It is always a pleasure to share some thoughts about technology with incredibly talented people. Python Ireland is doing a great job.

This year I didn’t give one talk, but TWO! It was very exhausting, but fun. I am posting the slides here, in case someone find them interesting…

You can also download the source Keynote file, which includes notes.

EDIT: Videos added

Django and Rails and Grails, Oh my!

Posted on by

On the PyCon Ireland I give a talk comparing between Django, Ruby on Rails and Grails framework… I just forget to put a link on this blog!

The presentation can be found at Prezi, and there is even a video, if someone wants to make funny comments on my exotic accent :-P A problem with the projector doesn’t allow me to display the slides, so I felt a little weird taking the laptop and pointing at the screen, but the people making the video has make their homework and shows the proper slides on place. Nice!

The original idea was to show the same simple application (a simple posting service) make with the three frameworks, but not being able to display on the projector really ruined it. Anyway, the code can be downloaded here, if you want to take a look.

Let me know what do you think!

Database madness with mongoengine and SQLAchemy

Posted on by

Yesterday I gave a presentation in the Python Ireland October meeting about some work we are doing with mongoengine and SQLAchemy and how we are managing three databases (MS SQL server, MySQL and MongoDB) on an online football management game we are working on.

So, here are the slides, so feel free to make comments, ask questions and even criticize them!

You can also download the presentation on PDF here.

PD: When I talk about football game, I’m referring to soccer.
