PyCodeConf 2011 - Miami, Florida
A CodeConf Event Presented By GitHub
Meet with the thought leaders and visionaries that will drive the Python community over the next year.
Come with an open mind and leave prepared for the future!
THANK YOU
PyCodeConf was quite an amazing event and it was so because of the amazing sponsors, speakers, but most importantly the wonderful attendees who made the trek to Miami, FL (with bathing suits in tow). We cannot thank you enough for really embracing this unique event and your willingness to try out this new event. We had a blast creating this event for you and the watching you take it and make it your own. We are glad that we were able to create an environment were people like yourself can meet, code a little, but most important talk face-to-face. We would like to send a big thank you out to our sponsors, Heroku, New Relic, Mozilla, Zenoss, Twilio, Droptype, and 10gen. Without their trust and support we might not have the "WAATTEREEERRRMELLLOONNN" meme. If you were there, you know what that means.
If you ever need a picture to capture the magic that is PyCodeConf, might we suggest one of the following:
It might seem absolutely crazy, but we think one of our speakers (@pydanny) nailed it when he described PyCodeConf: "... it was comfortable and people just talked freely. No laptops, no phones, just talking." (full review). Exactly!
If you want to relive the magic or just catch up to it, we have made all of the speakers presentations available below in both slide AND audio format (AAC and OGG formats). You can also check the #pycodeconf Twitter search. Be sure to keep your radars up for the next CodeConf event. Until then, see you by the pool.
About
A highly forward focused technical event that brings together the Python community for two days in Miami, Florida to showcase the future of the language and ecosphere. PyCodeConf is being held at the luxury boutique Epic Hotel.
As with every CodeConf event, we believe that coding is about more than code. Whether it's building a solid community, writing good documentation, or hacking space exploration, CodeConf is about improving the software ecosystem through best practices and social interactions. There will be fully inclusive evening social events October 5th, 6th, and 7th so book flights accordingly. Come with an open mind and leave a better programmer.
Schedule
This CodeConf is in the books, but lucky for you all of the audio and slides are here for you to relive the event. Enjoy!

- We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form.
- Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
