Short talk(10-15 mins + Q&A): Requester: an HTTP client with next-gen UI, built on top of Requests and Sublime Text, Kyle Bebak

Building and consuming web APIs is fundamental for web and mobile development. HTTP clients make working with these APIs a lot easier. Roughly speaking, HTTP clients fall into two categories: GUI apps, like Postman, Insomnia and Paw, and CLI apps like cURL and HTTPie.

Requester is an HTTP client for Sublime Text. It combines the managed UI features from GUI clients like collections, request history, env vars, syntax highlighting, request chaining, automated tests, etc, with the speed and flexibility of CLI clients. Everything is text, which means sharing and versioning request collections is trivial. It uses Requests' syntax, which is famed for its power and elegance. It also handles autocompletion for GraphQL queries.

I'd like to show how I used a Sublime Text as a development platform for building a new kind of UI that combines the best of GUI and CLI, and makes testing and developing APIs as easy as possible.

Short talk (10-15 mins + Q&A): 5 Things You Need To Know About Python Logging, Alex Milstead
