Fun, Friendly Computer Science -- Python

Code samples to support my "Fun, Friendly Computer Science" talk. This is an abbreviated version of this talk. The Ruby version and Javascript version include samples to illustrate the 4 principles of object-oriented programming.

Talk Abstract

Computer science concepts like Big O Notation, set theory, and data structures sound intimidating, but they don’t have to be! This talk will dive into some fundamental computer science topics and debunk the myth that only ‘real’ programmers know CS.

Whether you are a bootcamp grad, self-taught career switcher, or someone who, like me, didn't pay attention in night class, join me as we explore some computer science theory behind the code we write every day through fun illustrations and real-world examples.

Django

All of the code samples are written in Django. This is a vanilla Django setup.
