Have you come across a GitHub repo with a Jupyter notebook that has a "Run in Binder" button? It seems magical. How does it know what dependencies and external libraries you might need? Where does it run anyway? <br/> <br/> Like all technology, it's not magic. It's the result of hard work by the people behind mybinder.org. On this episode, you'll meet Tim Head, who has been working to bring Binder to us all.

How do you go from poking around at Python code to actually solving real problems, the right way? <br/> <br/> There are many paths. The longest one probably is to get a 4-year CS degree. Maybe faster, but pricy as well, is a solid in-person developer bootcamp. <br/> <br/> Have you considered reaching out to the community to find a mentor? Many Python meetups have project nights where folks who could help will be attending. If you're up for giving back, maybe you could become a mentor too. <br/> <br/> That's what this episode is about. We'll hear from two former guests of Talk Python, Rusti Gregory and Doug Farrell.

This episode is a unique one. On this episode, I've invited Richard Campbell and developer and podcaster who also dives deep into science and tech topics. We are going to dig into his geekout series and spend some time talking realistically about moonbases and space travel. <br/> <br/> I think you're really going to enjoy the conversation. But I would love to hear, either way, if you like this minor diversion from pure Python topics (although we do talk some Python and programming). We can do more like this in the future if you all enjoy listening to these as much as I enjoyed making them.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Richard Campbell</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/richcampbell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@richcampbell</a><br/> <b>GeekOut Episodes</b>: <a href="http://geekout.show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geekout.show</a><br/> <b>RSS feed for the Geek Outs</b>: <a href="http://www.pwop.com/feed.aspx?show=dotnetrocks&filetype=master&tags=Geek%20Out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pwop.com</a><br/> <b>Video of Richard's NDC Presentation</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-E7VLtRdeE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>The Race for Space album by Public Service Broadcasting</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlnwuV6RuMo&list=PLMmvfF1sIF1twomjkQBYIe81JBJ8-DRBR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/clubhouse'>Clubhouse</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Did you come into Python from a computational science side of things? Were you just looking for something better than Excel or Matlab and got pulled in by all the Python has to offer? <br/> <br/> That's great! But following that path often means some of the more formal practices from software development weren't part of the journey. <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet Martin Héroux, who does data science in the context of academic research.

The most critical issue of our time is climate change. Yet, when you think about our carbon impact in the software industry, what comes to mind? Business travel? Commuting to the office so you don't miss filing that TPS report? Yeah, those are bad. But data centers, servers, and our apps consume a substantial portion of the total energy used by modern humans. <br/> <br/> In this episode, you'll meet Chris Adams.

Python is growing incredibly quickly and has found its place in many facets of the developer and computational space. But one area that is still shaky and uncertain is packaging and shipping software to users. <br/> <br/> I'm not talking about building reusable libraries and hosting them on PyPI. I'm talking about shipping executable software to non-developers. <br/> <br/> Take a moment to stop and think about what ways you would send an end-user a program built with Python that they can simply run. It's a bit of a mixed bag, isn't it? <br/> <br/> On this episode, we welcome back Cristian Medina to run through the state if Python packaging.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Cris on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/tryexceptpass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@tryexceptpass</a><br/> <b>tryexceptpass</b>: <a href="https://tryexceptpass.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tryexceptpass.org</a><br/> <b>Russel Keith-Magee keynote & black swans</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftP5BQh1-YM&feature=youtu.be&t=2033" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>4 Attempts at Packaging Python as an Executable article</b>: <a href="https://tryexceptpass.org/article/package-python-as-executable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tryexceptpass.org</a><br/> <b>Official Python Docker image</b>: <a href="https://hub.docker.com/_/python" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hub.docker.com</a><br/> <b>Docker</b>: <a href="https://www.docker.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">docker.com</a><br/> <b>Vagrant</b>: <a href="https://www.vagrantup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vagrantup.com</a><br/> <b>PyInstaller</b>: <a href="https://www.pyinstaller.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pyinstaller.org</a><br/> <b>Briefcase</b>: <a href="https://beeware.org/project/projects/tools/briefcase/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beeware.org</a><br/> <b>Pex</b>: <a href="https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>Shiv</b>: <a href="https://github.com/linkedin/shiv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>pipx</b>: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pipx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pypi.org/project/pipx</a><br/> <b>PyOxidixer</b>: <a href="https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2019/06/24/building-standalone-python-applications-with-pyoxidizer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gregoryszorc.com</a><br/> <b>Nuitka</b>: <a href="https://nuitka.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nuitka.net</a><br/> <b>Cython</b>: <a href="https://cython.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cython.org</a><br/> <b>Flatpak</b>: <a href="https://flatpak.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flatpak.org</a><br/> <b>Snapcraft</b>: <a href="https://snapcraft.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">snapcraft.io</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

We've come to the end of 2019. Python 2 has just a handful of days before it goes unsupported. And I've met up with Dan Bader from RealPython.com to look back at the year of Python articles on his website. We dive into the details behind 10 of his most important articles from the past year.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Dan Bader</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/dbader_org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@dbader_org</a><br/> <br/> <b>The 10 Articles on RealPython.com</b><br/> <br/> <b>#1</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/run-python-scripts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Run Your Python Scripts</a><br/> <b>#2</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/intermediate-python-project-ideas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13 Project Ideas for Intermediate Python Developers</a><br/> <b>#3</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/storing-images-in-python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3 Ways of Storing and Accessing Lots of Images</a><br/> <b>#4</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/python-concurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Speed Up Your Python Program With Concurrency</a><br/> <b>#5</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/build-recommendation-engine-collaborative-filtering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Build a Recommendation Engine</a><br/> <b>#6</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/python-print/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Your Guide to the Python Print Function</a><br/> <b>#7</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/python-pep8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Write Beautiful Python Code With PEP 8</a><br/> <b>#8</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/python-lambda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Use Python Lambda Functions</a><br/> <b>#9</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/python-coding-interview-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Stand Out in a Python Interview</a><br/> <b>#10</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/inheritance-composition-python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inheritance and Composition: A Python OOP Guide</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/brilliant'>Brilliant</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

We all love the Python language. But it's the 200,000+ packages that actually make Python incredibly useful and productive. But installing these libraries and sometimes even Python itself can vary across platforms. In particular, Windows has had a hard time. Many of the library authors don't use Windows and so don't test their packages on that platform. Tutorial authors often start their tutorial steps by activating a virtual environment with $ source venv/bin/activate. This, of course, doesn't work on Windows. Yet, over 50% of all developers programming in Python do so on Windows. <br/> <br/> In this episode, you'll meet Steve Dower. He works at Microsoft and is a Python core developer. He has a bunch of stats for us. But he also has tons of good news on how Python on Windows is getting much better.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Steve Dower</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/zooba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@zooba</a><br/> <b>Steve's PyCon Talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoI57uMdDD4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>appdirs package</b>: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/appdirs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pypi.org/project/appdirs</a><br/> <br/> <b>Michael on .NET Rocks podcast</b>: <a href="https://dotnetrocks.com/?show=1665" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dotnetrocks.com</a><br/> <b>Python for .NET Developer Course</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/dotnet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/dotnet</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/brilliant'>Brilliant</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Online education has certainly gone mainstream. Developers and companies have finally gotten comfortable taking online courses. Sometimes these are recorded, self-paced courses like we have at Talk Python Training. Other times, they are more like live events in webcast format. <br/> <br/> In this episode, you'll meet two guys who are taking the interactivity of online learning up a notch. Brian Clark and Cecil Philip run a weekly event on Twitch where they are live-streaming an interactive Python course. They take questions from 100's of students and dig into the diversions more mainstream online learning simply cannot.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Brian's Twitch Channel</b>: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/clarkio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twitch.tv</a><br/> <b>Cecil on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/cecilphillip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@cecilphillip</a><br/> <b>Brian on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/_clarkio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@_clarkio</a><br/> <b>Visual Studio Online</b>: <a href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">visualstudio.microsoft.com</a><br/> <b>Nina's Python Fundamentals course</b>: <a href="https://frontendmasters.com/courses/python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frontendmasters.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/usf'>USF</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Open source has permeated much of the software industry. What about health care? This highly regulated and important industry might seem to be the domain of huge specialized software companies. <br/> <br/> On this episode, Fred Kingham is here to introduce us to a project called OPAL. It was born out of NHS Hack Days in the UK and is a full-stack web framework for building health care applications. It's based on Django and has a ton of interesting features as a framework in general.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>OPAL website</b>: <a href="https://opal.openhealthcare.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opal.openhealthcare.org.uk</a><br/> <b>Fred on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/fredkingham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@fredkingham</a><br/> <b>OPAL Tutorial</b>: <a href="https://opal.openhealthcare.org.uk/docs/tutorial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opal.openhealthcare.org.uk/docs/tutorial</a><br/> <b>NHS Hack Day</b>: <a href="https://nhshackday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nhshackday.com</a><br/> <b>Open source is the only way for Medicine article</b>: <a href="https://medium.com/@marcus_baw/open-source-is-the-only-way-for-medicine-9e698de0447e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">medium.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Python for decision-makers webcast</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/python-decision-webcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/python-decision-webcast</a><br/> <b>Python for decision-makers course</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/decision</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/usf'>USF</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

You might use Python every day. But how much do you know about what happens under the covers, down at the C level? When you type something like variable = [], what are the byte-codes that accomplish this? How about the class backing the list itself? <br/> <br/> All of these details live at the C-layer of CPython. On this episode, you'll meet Anthony Shaw. He and I take a guided tour of the CPython source code. After this, you won't have to guess what's happening. You can git-clone the CPython source code and see for yourself.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Anthony on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/anthonypjshaw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@anthonypjshaw</a><br/> <br/> <b>Python on Github</b>: <a href="https://github.com/python" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>RealPython article</b>: <a href="https://realpython.com/cpython-source-code-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">realpython.com</a><br/> <b>Memory management in Python article</b>: <a href="https://rushter.com/blog/python-memory-managment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rushter.com</a><br/> <b>Dismissing Python Garbage Collection at Instagram</b>: <a href="https://instagram-engineering.com/dismissing-python-garbage-collection-at-instagram-4dca40b29172" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instagram-engineering.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Prior episodes with Anthony</b><br/> <br/> <b>#180: What's new in Python 3.7 and beyond</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/180/what-s-new-in-python-3.7-and-beyond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm</a><br/> <b>#168: 10 Python security holes and how to plug them</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/168/10-python-security-holes-and-how-to-plug-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm</a><br/> <b>#155: Practical steps for moving to Python 3</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/155/practical-steps-for-moving-to-python-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm</a><br/> <b>#132: Contributing to open source</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/132/contributing-to-open-source" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/usf'>USF</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Collaborative data science has a few challenges. First of all, those who you are collaborating with might not be savvy enough in the computer science techniques (for example, git and source control or docker and Linux). Second, seeing the work and changes others have made is a challenge too. <br/> <br/> That's why Dean Kleissas and his cofounders created Gigantum. It's a platform that runs either locally or in the cloud, spins up data science environments into docker containers seamlessly, and sync collaborative updates from machine to machine.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Dean on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/DeanKleissas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@DeanKleissas</a><br/> <b>Gigantum</b>: <a href="https://gigantum.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gigantum.com</a><br/> <b>Gigantum's GitHub org</b>: <a href="https://github.com/gigantum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/gigantum</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Let's start with a philosophical question: Are you human? Are you sure? We could begin to answer the question physically. Are you made up of cells that would typically be considered as belonging to the human body? <br/> <br/> It turns out we have many ecosystems *within* us. Understanding them is important to our own wellbeing. In this episode, you'll meet Sebastian Proost, who is using Python to study bacteria in our world.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Group website</b>: <a href="https://raeslab.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raeslab.org</a><br/> <b>TV Coverage on the gut-brain work</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ILd8gk7Os" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>TedX talk from Jeroen we briefly discussed</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af5qUxl1ktI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Sebastian's work on Science Figured Out (in Dutch but the captions/subtitles are in English)</b>: <a href="https://www.sciencefiguredout.be/bytes-and-bacteria-software-explore-intestinal-flora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sciencefiguredout.be</a><br/> <br/> <b>Sebastian on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/ProostSebastian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ProostSebastian</a><br/> <b>Sebastian's site</b>: <a href="https://sebastian.proost.science/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sebastian.proost.science</a><br/> <b>Sebastian on Github</b>: <a href="https://github.com/sepro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/sepro</a><br/> <br/> <b>Tools we mentioned:</b><br/> <b>Cytoscape.js</b>: <a href="https://js.cytoscape.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">js.cytoscape.org</a><br/> <b>UltraJSON</b>: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/ujson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pypi.org</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Do you do data science? Imagine you work with over 200 data scientists. Many of whom have diverse backgrounds or have come from non-CS backgrounds. Some of them want to use Python. Others are keen to work with R. <br/> <br/> Your job is to level the playing field across these experts through technical education and build libraries and tooling that are useful both in Python and R. <br/> <br/> It sounds like a fun challenge, doesn't it?

Do you dream of a day when you can write Python in the browser rather than JavaScript? This is no pipe dream! There are several ways to write Python that runs in the browser already. <br/> <br/> One of the leaders here is Skulpt. It's not just an experiment but real, powerful web applications with rich client-side code, Python code, are out in the wild and built with Skulpt. <br/> <br/> We dig into it with Meredydd Luff and Albert-Jan Nijburg on this episode.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Meredydd on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/meredydd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@meredydd</a><br/> <b>Albert-Jan on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/ajpnijburg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ajpnijburg</a><br/> <b>Skulpt</b>: <a href="https://skulpt.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skulpt.org</a><br/> <br/> <b>Skulpt in the wild:</b><br/> <b>Anvil</b>: <a href="https://anvil.works" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anvil.works</a><br/> <b>Trinket</b>: <a href="https://trinket.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trinket.io</a><br/> <b>Code Combat</b>: <a href="https://codecombat.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">codecombat.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Meredydd’s talk about Suspensions</b>: <a href="https://anvil.works/blog/pycon-talk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anvil.works/blog</a><br/> <b>Albert-Jan’s talk about the Python 3 upgrade</b>: <a href="https://github.com/albertjan/skulpt-py3-presentation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>Meredydd’s talk about autocomplete</b>: <a href="https://anvil.works/blog/python-autocompleter-pycon17" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anvil.works/blog</a><br/> <br/> <b>Other browser-based Python impls</b><br/> <b>Brython</b>: <a href="https://brython.info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brython.info</a><br/> <b>Transcrypt</b>: <a href="https://transcrypt.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transcrypt.org</a><br/> <b>Pyodide</b>: <a href="https://alpha.iodide.io/notebooks/300/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alpha.iodide.io</a><br/> <br/> <b>Package PyPostal</b>: <a href="https://github.com/openvenues/pypostal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Have you heard of awesome lists? They are well, pretty awesome! Gathering up the most loved libraries and packages for a given topic. <br/> <br/> While most lists cover awesome developer tools and libraries, we don't have many examples of awesome *applications* both for use and for examples to draw from. <br/> <br/> That's why Mahmoud Hashemi decided to create Awesome Python Applications, and you're about to dive headfirst into them!<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Mahmoud on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/mhashemi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@mhashemi</a><br/> <b>Launch announcement for project</b>: <a href="http://sedimental.org/awesome_python_applications.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sedimental.org</a><br/> <b>Awesome Python Applications site</b>: <a href="https://github.com/mahmoud/awesome-python-applications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awesome-python-applications</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Folks, it's not like the old days where there were just a couple of web frameworks for building apps with Python. These days there are many.

When you think about the types of jobs you get as a Python developer, you probably weight the differences between data science and web development. <br/> <br/> But did you consider programming robots in Python? And not just toys, but serious, productive machines. It turns out there is a gap in the industry where we could use more Python developers in robotics. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm happy to have Ricardo Tellez here to give us an overview of the software development side of robotics programming with Python.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Ricardo Tellez Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/_RicardoTellez_" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@_RicardoTellez_</a><br/> <b>ROS</b>: <a href="https://www.ros.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ros.org</a><br/> <b>ROS2</b>: <a href="https://github.com/ros2/ros2/releases" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/ros2</a><br/> <b>ROS wiki</b>: <a href="http://wiki.ros.org/Documentation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wiki.ros.org</a><br/> <b>OpenAI</b>: <a href="https://openai.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openai.com</a><br/> <b>Scikit</b>: <a href="https://scikit-learn.org/stable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scikit-learn.org</a><br/> <b>OpenCV</b>: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pypi.org/project/opencv-python</a><br/> <b>Tensorflow</b>: <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tensorflow.org</a><br/> <b>Online free course on Python for robotics</b>: <a href="http://www.theconstructsim.com/construct-learn-develop-robots-using-ros/robotigniteacademy_learnros/ros-courses-library/python-robotics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theconstructsim.com</a><br/> <b>The Construct, our company</b>: <a href="http://www.theconstructsim.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theconstruct.ai</a><br/> <b>Our online academy for learning ROS fast</b>: <a href="http://robotignite.academy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">robotignite.academy</a><br/> <b>Our Youtube channel for learning ROS</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6Lag-vv25fTX3e11mVY1Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Theia editor</b>: <a href="https://www.theia-ide.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theia-ide.org</a><br/> <b>Sublime</b>: <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sublimetext.com</a><br/> <b>ROS Developers Podcast</b>: <a href="http://www.theconstructsim.com/category/ros_developers_podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theconstructsim.com</a><br/> <b>Python-PCL</b>: <a href="https://github.com/strawlab/python-pcl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>Works on my machine certification program</b>: <a href="https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-works-on-my-machine-certification-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">codinghorror.com</a><br/> <b>Azure Sphere</b>: <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/azure-sphere/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">azure.microsoft.com</a><br/> <b>Azure Sphere on Wikipedia</b>: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Sphere" target="_blank" rel="noopener">en.wikipedia.org</a><br/> <b>OpenAI Gym</b>: <a href="https://gym.openai.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gym.openai.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Rosject example of a live class teaching Python for robotics</b><br/> <b>Code and instructions</b>: <a href="http://www.rosject.io/l/a16526f/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rosject.io</a><br/> <b>Video of the live class</b>: <a href="https://youtu.be/8ehPWJ2HdPc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtu.be</a><br/> <br/> <b>Video PR1 cleaning room</b>: <a href="https://youtu.be/jJ4XtyMoxIA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtu.be</a><br/> <b>Great Robot Race NOVA Video</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCRrXQRvC_I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtu.be</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/tidelift'>TideLift</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>
