PyCon AU 2016 (Keynote)

Vi kender Python som scripting-sprog, som webserver-sprog, som sprog, som dataanalysesprog og som undervisningssprog. Men er det grænsen for, hvor Python kan bruges? Hvad er fremtiden for Python på andre platforme? Er udsigten til at bruge Python på disse platforme en nyhed eller en levedygtig måde at afværge en eksistentiel trussel mod sproget? Og hvordan hænger denne trussel sammen med andre trusler vi har mod vores fællesskab og vores branche?

Dr Russell Keith-Magee is a 10 year veteran of the Django core team, and for 5 years, was President of the Django Software Foundation. He's also the founder of the BeeWare project, developing GUI tools to support the development of Python software. When he's not contributing to open source, he's the CTO of TradesCloud, a company providing integrated job management software for tradespeople.

“Python has long been available on ‘all the platforms’, but it hasn't kept up with the massive increase in mobile devices,” said Richard Jones, conference chair. “Russell has has been an exemplary community leader and his open source projects are doing the important work of addressing that lack of coverage.”
