This month we are going to have a fairly informal talk by Gary Martin (@allegary) to have what he hopes to be a fun look at programming using messaging over sockets. We'll be given a look at using ZeroMQ to build projects out of a set of smaller programs with well defined parts. We'll do all this in the context of what might seem like a silly project of Gary's called Pixels as a Service which he has recently rewritten to use ZeroMQ.
Expect raspberry pi's leds lighting up and hopefully a bit of light audience participation that
The following is a rough guide for how the evening is expected to unfold:
17:45 - 18:15: Informally, a number of us are likely to be at the StreetFoodChef on Arundel Street for burritos. While these are not provided as part of attending, anyone is welcome to join us.
18:30 - 18:45: Meeting starts with some time for announcements and usually some chatter.
18:45 - 20:30: The main event/events.
20:30 - late : Migrate to a local pub (in recent months we have chosen the Tap and Tankard on Cambridge Street, near John Lewis) for post event drinks. Note that this part of the evening is probably not suitable for any children to join in with, though this does depend on the rules set by the pub.
Attendance is free and the event is intended to be suitable for all levels of python experience. Any under 18s who wish to attend must be accompanied by an adult, preferably also with an interest in Python.
