Articles, Tutorials and Talks
Machine Learning for Beginners: An Introduction to Neural Networks
A simple explanation of how they work and how to implement one from scratch in Python.
Python + Memcached: Efficient Caching in Distributed Applications
When writing Python applications, caching is important. Using a cache to avoid recomputing data or accessing a slow database can provide you with a great performance boost. In this tutorial, after a quick introduction to basic memcached usage, you’ll learn about advanced patterns such as “cache and set” and using fallback caches to avoid cold cache performance issues.
Discovering Hidden APIs
Many a times, websites do not make their APIs public and use them privately on their webpages. In this video, learn how to discover and explore those web APIs and use them in your Python program.
Import almost anything in Python
An intro to module loaders and finders.
Introducing TraefikProxy
A scalable and highly available proxy for JupyterHub.

Affine Image Transformations in Python with Numpy, Pillow and OpenCV
In this article I will be describing what it means to apply an affine transformation to an image and how to do it in Python. First I will demonstrate the low level operations in Numpy to give a detailed geometric implementation. Then I will segue those into a more practical usage of the Python Pillow and OpenCV libraries.
