Rodrigo Girão Serrão
Hi, I'm Rodrigo Girão Serrão from sunny Portugal 🇵🇹.
I'm a prolific Python author and speaker, with multiple books published independently and dozens of talks and tutorials given at the largest Python conferences in the world. I also blog frequently about Python and publish two Python newsletters: the weekly mathspp insider 🐍🚀 and the daily Python drops 🐍💧.
I have extensive experience teaching people from all walks of life – from kids in school, to professionals in various industries, to retirees – and there is a clear consensus that my students enjoy my clear examples, the live-coding during my lessons, and most surprisingly: my quirky sense of humour.
Sessions
A generator, duck typing, and branchless conditionals walk into a bar…
Sounds like the start of a bad Python joke, but it’s actually a list of three features used in my favourite line of Python code.
You have a favourite line of code as well, right?
In this talk we’ll go over two quintessential features of Python programming (generators and duck typing) and you’ll learn how to use them effectively.
We’ll also look at branchless conditionals and understand how this unusual idea can shape the way you think about coding.
In the end, we’ll put the three together to write a powerful Python idiom and conclude I have terrible taste!
