Pycon 2009 videos of interest


Here are a few presentations I got alot out of at Pycon. This one by Ian Bicking, Topics of Interest, was good for me because I'm new to the Python community and It really covers alot of ground and gives you one person's perspective on a bit of python history. I also like the parts where Ian dives into some non technical topics of interest like women in computing (17:00) and postmodern programming(21:50). Plus the IRC comments at the bottom are at times hilarious.

The second presentation by Jack Diederich, Class Decorators Radically Simple, is one that I found useful as in my one Python project I did I never used class decorators and it was good to get some ideas about how and when to use those. Check it out.
