A Basic Introduction to PySpark Dataframes by exploring ASF Gender Diversity Data

Caelyn McAulay and Holden Karau

Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at 10:30 a.m - 12:30pm.

Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for big data processing. Using PySpark, you can work with Spark DataFrames in Python. The target audience is familiar with Python and looking to get their feet wet with data science and/or the Spark framework. This tutorial will cover reading in data from files and basic DataFrame operations. While this session cannot provide enough background to support professional work with Spark, we aim to provide some interesting initial tools and pointers on how to go deeper for those interested.

Please note that this tutorial is 2 hours long.

Doing Domain Driven Design with Django, or DDDDD

Mafinar Khan

Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at 2:30 p.m - 3:30pm.

Python for SEO: Web Scraping

Alex Galea

Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at 3:45pm - 4:45pm.

Search engine optimization (SEO) requires a variety of technical considerations, such as page titles, redirects and structured data. With Python we can build a scalable pipeline to extract and audit this data from web pages. We’ll show how this (and more) can be done using a Jupyter Notebook!

November 8 update: Due to illness, Alex is unable to attend PyCon Canada. He has graciously gave his notes so others can run this tutorial. Many thanks to Myles Braithwaite and Abraham Varricatt for taking the lead.

Dog Classification using PyTorch

Heather Spetalnick

Sunday, November 11th, 2018 at 11:00am - 12:30pm.

Have you ever seen a dog and wanted to know what breed it was? In this tutorial, you will learn how to train an image classification model using transfer learning.

The Azure Machine Learning SDK's PyTorch estimator enables you to easily submit PyTorch training jobs for both single-node and distributed runs on Azure compute. The model is trained to classify dog breeds first using a pretrained ResNet model that has been trained on the Stanford Dog dataset.

Engineering Pop Songs with Python

Building your own crypto exchange in async python

Ankit Mittal

Sunday, November 11th, 2018 at 4:55 p.m - 5:55pm.

Asyncio is a relatively mystical approach to building end to end applications. In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to build a single threaded non-blocking limit order book exchange. It will have a Rest API to accept new orders, and websockets for subscribing to updates.

The asyncio tutorial you have always wanted, We go beyond the world of sleeps and http requests. I intend to create an exchange where you can place the orders, orders will either get executed immediately or go into the queue. You can cancel the orders, modify them until execution. We will write a limit orderbook execution engine. We will write a simple websocket for subscribing to market updates. Attendees will need working knowledge of Python, some idea about asyncio.

Code for exchange written in asyncio: https://github.com/ankitml/pyconca-tutorial-exchange

Slides for tutorial:

Software requirements:

python 3.7 installed (3.5+ will work). Apart from this we will also need Redis 5.0.
