BayPiggies Diversity Night
Abstract
Python, an easy-to-learn programming language that is also used for many sophisticated applications, is a great starting point for bringing people into tech careers. This gives us the opportunity to reach out to underrepresented groups and build a vibrant community.
For our October meeting, we will have a number of short talks to celebrate the diversity of the Python community. These will range from narratives of personal experiences, to career advice, to technical topics. We have an exciting list of speakers. We hope you will join us!
