Talks
So here’s some list of talks/stuff I’ve done. I’ve not done a good job keeping track of these things so it’s far from complete.
1DevDayDetroit – Python, PEP8, and why reading code matters
As a developer we easily spend as much time reading code as we do writing it. We spend hours learning design patterns, tweaking our editors, and reading techniques all to help write code. We’re going to remind you about the things you need to think about to help you and others reading code. It’s just as important.
PyOhio 2011 – SqlAlchemy Tutorial

We’ll demonstrate why you would want to separate the actual work a users requests from the web request itself. And we’ll discuss using Celery, a python library, to interact with RabbitMQ, an amazingly flexible and powerful messaging server.
PyOhio 2010 – Wrangling the bits, standardizing how apps get built
