After almost 4 months of work on Google Summer of Code 2017, finally I'm completing my proposal. Every widget migration and every commit/PR/issue/discussion with my mentors about Cricket , Toga and Rubicon-ObjC were detailed on the Issue 58.
With Google Summer of Code 2017 program nearing its end, it is time to summarize what I got done during the summer working on Batavia.
Google Summer of Code 2017 is coming to an end. After three month of working on the BeeWare project, I would like to summarize my work and share my experiences.
Russell, Philip and Katie will be attending DjangoCon US 2017 from August 13 - August 17, 2017!
Katie will be keynoting PyCon AU 2017, giving a presentation entitled How to handle abandoned projects, Take Two.
Have you ever wanted to write a GUI application you can run on your laptop? What about an app that you can run on your phone? Historically, these have been difficult to achieve with Python, and impossible to achieve without learning a different API for each platform. But no more.
BeeWare is a collection of tools and libraries that allows you to build cross-platform native GUI applications in pure Python, targeting desktop, mobile and web platforms. In this talk, you'll be introduced to the BeeWare suite of tools and libraries, and see how you can use them to develop, from scratch, a simple GUI application that can be deployed as a standalone desktop application, a mobile phone application, and a single page webapp - without making any changes to the application's codebase.
As seen at PyCon AU 2017.

Testing is a skill that is a vital part of every programmer's training. Learning how to write good tests helps you write more robust code, and ensures that when you've written code that works, it keeps working long into the future. It can also help you write better code in the first place. It turns out that well architected code, with high cohesion and low coupling, is also easy to test - so writing code that is easy to test will almost always result in better overall code quality.

We all know Python is a powerful and expressive programming language. What you may not know is how much of the internals of Python itself is exposed for you to use and manipulate.
In this talk, you'll be introduced to the tools and libraries Python provides to manipulate the compilation and execution of Python code. You will also see how you can use those tools to target execution environments other than the CPython virtual machine.
