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
One person told about her bad experience with using the Microsoft Windows PC in dark mode and that this works much better in the Linux environment.
