January 2023
We met on 20. January Online on conf.fsfe.org.
Elsi told us about a Python project she is involved with and so we spoke a while about Python and the tools that play a role in this context.
Conda Package, dependency and environment management for any language
Poetry (more for packaging and distribution, integrates very closely with PyPI/pip)
mypy Python type annotation
As we had a participant in our meeting who has no programming skills yet, we talked about ways to learn programming.
The Python class Elsie took back in 2013 or so: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-to-program (This course includes a lot of concepts that are less necessary for Python but useful for understanding other programming languages.)
- The idea came up to start a collection of Kids programming software / websites to recommend
Update: Such a page Programming For Children is already existing here in the FSFE wiki. Please add stuff you would recommend there
