FL PyCon

On 7 October 2017, I had the opportunity to give the morning keynote at the inaugural Florida PyCon in Orlando. I choose to speak about Professional Software Craftsmanship.

Professional Software Craftsmanship
As our profession grows and matures, it becomes more and more important for us to develop a sense of what it means to be a software professional. Analogies to existing professions are easily drawn. Precision and analytical problem solving are essential. So are we engineers? Creativity and willingness to try things we’ve never done are core to success. So are we artists? We are a new breed of professional that draws on but is unique from what has come before.
