Hi everyone, I have a question for you...
I've just finished going through the first draft of my Pycon talk "out loud" to ensure that I didn't talk for too long and find out that I could easily stretch it to one hour... while I only intend to talk for 25 minutes at the most, making sure there is time for questions. Here's a "revised" outline of what my talk could include 1. Defining/demo-ing what is meant by an interactive tutorial (i.e. executing Python code from Firefox). 2. Why VLAM? (Very Little Added Markup) - with simple examples 3. Features of the embedded Python interpreter * including support for input()/raw_input() :-) 4. The new editor. 5. Built-in graphics support (drawings and plots) 6. Doctests as a learning tool. 7. Launching an external applications (2 quick examples) 8. Demo of the new "crunchyfier" - point and click to add VLAM I also need to demonstrate Johannes' latest work which simplify the graphics support, extend input/raw_input, simplifies communication between the browser and the Python backend and is generally a much better approach. Another topic I probably need to slip in there is the issue of security. A feature I will most likely not cover at all is the user customization (style [css] and language [i.e. English and French at the moment). Now comes the question :-) Does anyone have any suggestion/preference as to which topic(s) I should spend more time on?
