Evrone Team at the Python Developers Conference
Evrone participated in Pycon Russia, where over 600 attendees gathered to explore the latest in Python development, big data, and MLOps. Grigory Petrov delivered a standout talk on his journey of writing a new Python textbook, while the team engaged participants with a Python quiz and networking at the event.
Every July, Pycon Russia brings together Python developers, big data specialists, language model experts, and MLOps engineers. This year was no exception—over 600 participants attended the event, and 26 speakers presented across two parallel tracks.
Evrone’s DevRel, Grigory Petrov, represented our team on the Python track, while our HR and Event Managers entertained visitors at the partner booth.
Amid the highly technical talks on architecture, debugging, processes, and performance, Grigory Petrov’s talk titled “Why and How I’m Writing a New Python Textbook” stood out from the crowd. Not everyone attends conferences solely for practical knowledge; sometimes, people just want to talk about Python, get inspired, and find support.
With 25 years of experience as a developer, Grigory believes that writing a self-study guide for adults is a logical culmination of his passion for neurophysiology and programming. In his talk, he explained how he chose the learning sequence, why he started the textbook with expression/evaluation/value, and much more. Most importantly, he discussed why the Python textbook will be published in print.
In addition to talks, master classes, and networking, conference participants could visit partner company booths to learn more, receive merchandise, and win prizes. Our team prepared a Python quiz, with finalists having the chance to win a Yandex Station, an Evrone backpack, and a power bank.
Beyond commercial development and supporting open-source, Evrone actively participates in the Russian IT community. Each year, we attend over 20 industry conferences as speakers and partners, and we organize our own events as well.
This fall promises to be eventful—in Voronezh, we have planned offline meetups for analysts and Go developers, and on September 21, we will host RubyRussia in Moscow (the first offline event since COVID restrictions).
If, like us, you follow the latest technologies, love Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and are eager to meet in person, don’t miss this event.
