He's the author of several open source foundational packages that en able reliable genome interpretation\, all released through the biocommons. In past lives\, he was CTO of a genomics-based medical practice\, a groun d-floor engineering leader at Invitae\, a successful SF-based genetics dia gnostics company\, and a scientist in bioinformatics and protein engineeri ng at Genentech. Eons ago\, Reece earned a PhD in biophysics and MS in com puter science. \n\n Description \n\n The San Francisco Bay Area is the ep icenter of biotechnology and home to many of the world's most innovative b iotech companies. Python is among the most frequently used languages for b ioinformatics. SF Python is kicking off a bioinformatics special interest group in order to catalyze networking\, mentorship\, and coding. The SIG w ill meet monthly during SF Python project nights (3rd Wednesday of each mo nth). Whether you're a bioinformatics professional\, researchers\, or aspi rant\, please come contribute to the structure and content of this nascent group. \n\n Short talk(~10 mins + Q&\;A) \n\n Numpy in Graphland\, S andeep Narayanaswami \n\n Speaker Bio \n\n Sandeep is a software engineer with a focus on data. At Capital One\, he has worked on a variety of machi ne learning projects\, and is currently building a synthetic data platform . He loves learning about and using math and algorithms and mathy algorith ms\, and wants to know more about functional programming. \n\n Description \n\n There is a well-known representation of graphs as matrices\, and it turns out that many graph algorithms (think breadth-first search\, for exa mple) can be translated into operations on matrices. We will consider a fe w such translations from networkx into numpy\, review performance implicat ions\, and discuss trade-offs in implementation. \n\n Main talk (30 mins) \n\n Recursion for Beginners: A Beginner's Guide to Recursion\, Al Sweigar t \n\n Speaker Bio \n\n Al Sweigart is a software developer and the author of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python\, Coding with Minecraft\, Cracki ng Codes with Python\, Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python\, and Ma king Games with Python &\; Pygame. These books are freely available und er a Creative Commons license at https://inventwithpython.com. \n\n Al enj oys haunting coffee shops\, writing educational materials\, cat whispering \, and making useful software. He lives in San Francisco. \n\n Abstract \n \n Recursion has an intimidating reputation for being the advanced skill o f coding sorcerers. But in this tutorial we look behind the curtain of thi s formidable technique to discover the simple ideas under it. Although rec ursion is an intermediate topic\, beginners will be able to follow this ta lk. \n\n We'll answer the following questions: \n\n \n What is recursion\, and when is it a good idea and bad idea to use it? \n What's a stack\, th e call stack\, and a stack overflow? \n What are all the confusing ways th at recursion is commonly taught? \n Do some problems require recursion? Ca n recursion do anything a loop can't? \n What is memoization\, and how doe s functools.lru_cache work? \n \n\n This talk was originally given at Nort h Bay Python 2018 \n\n AGENDA \n\n 6:00p - Check-in and mingle\, with food provided by our generous sponsor! \n\n 7:05p - Welcome \n\n 7:30p - Door close \n\n 7:10p - Announcements\, lightning talks and main talk \n\n 8:15 p - More mingling \n\n 9:30p - Hard stop \n\n SF Python is run by voluntee rs aiming to foster the Python community in the Bay Area. Please consider making a donation to SF Python and saying a big thank you to Yelp for prov iding pizza\, beer\, and the venue for this Wednesday's meetup. \n\n Yelp sees 89 million mobile users and 79 million desktop users every month. Kee ping everything running smoothly requires the best and brightest in the in dustry. Their engineers come from diverse technical backgrounds and value digital craftsmanship\, open-source\, and creative problem-solving. They w rite tests\, review code\, and push multiple times a day. Come out and tal k to them. \n LAST-MODIFIED:20240728T211358 LOCATION:Yelp\, 140 New Montgomery Street\, San Francisco\, CA ORGANIZER:mailto:grace@pybay.com SUMMARY:Analyze graphs with NumPy\, learn recursion\, and more!
