PyCon CZ 2017

This workshop starts at 14:00. The workshop aims to bring the geospatial topic to Python programmers. Geo data (raster or vector data with defined position in space, usually on Earth) can be managed by Python tools very easy. The workshop brings basic needed introduction to GIS and show some existing tools. We will also discuss some specific libraries, such as GeoAlchemy or GeoDjango and what do they bring.

This workshop starts at 14:00. Google, Red Hat, Intel, Huawei, Mirantis, Deis and many, many others are investing a lot of time and effort into improving Kubernetes. I bet, you have encountered that name at least once in the past twelve months, either on Hacker News, Reddit, or somewhere else. Do you want to learn more about the best container orchestration in the universe, but were afraid of the setup complexity? Do you want to see how easy it is to run any application using containers? Do you want to experience the joy of scaling application with a single click? This, and a lot more will be discussed in details. In this tutorial, every attendee will be provided with an environment, and step by step instructions necessary to setup the environment, build and deploy a microservices based sample application. Alternatively, a sample application of any choosing can be used throughout the entire tutorial. All that will be performed on OpenShift, which is a Red Hat distribution of Kuberenets with some add-ons that will be described in details at the beginning of the tutorial. To wet your appetite even more, here are some of the topics we are going to cover: automatic build and deployment git integration image registry integration scaling application containers security batch tasks and much more. After the session, every person will be able to play around with the accompanying code repository that was used in the tutorial, which includes detailed instructions how to run it on your own from scratch.

This workshop starts at 10:00. When is the best time to start learning programming? Can 6 year-old kids code? Sure! I will let you play with some robots that don’t even need screen (Cubetto, Ozobot). You can play with Lego WeDo, Edison and Scratch. You can try yourself to program Micro:bit with Python or walk through a dungeon of CodeCombat. I will have twenty Micro:bits to borrow. If you want to try it, just bring your notebook with USB port. In the end you will learn about Micro:la foundation, which wants to change the IT education at grammar schools.

This workshop starts at 10:00. The workshop will give you a hands-on experience with the IBM Bluemix development platform where you can create and deploy your own cloud-native applications using rich assortment of cool plug&play services including databases, cloud storage, cognitive voice or image recognition services, messaging, IoT, etc. Want to supercharge your IoT app with an IBM Watson chat-bot interface and talk to your sensor using natural language? Fancy to take a deeper plunge into data science and employ machine learning to detect data anomalies using Spark analytics within Jupyter notebook experience? Or perhaps you'd like to explore novel cloud execution models such as server-less computing? Take your pick, imagination is your only limit. The workshop will cover basic introduction to the IBM Bluemix development ecosystem, overview of the various deployment models and brief excursion over the available services. Participants will then create a personal 30-day free trial Bluemix account (no credit card required!) and write a simple application based on their preference. Several application recipes will be provided as guidelines. You will need a laptop with Internet connection.
