ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
The PyScript Platform and the Magic of Python in the Browser
About this Webinar
PyScript has recently turned one year old, and so many things have changed with the project, including a refactoring and re-implementation of the entire code base as well as major performance improvements.
PyScript is a very different project now, with many new features, API changes, and plugins that unlock unprecedented ways to create interactive applications in the browser.
In this webinar, we will explore how to work with PyScript and all its core features to easily interact with the web DOM, integrate with web workers, and create self-contained web (data-)apps. We’ll discuss these through the lens of their evolution within the project to better appreciate the context and understand how these changes have generated a new set of projects (like pyscript-cli, PyperCard, and VisualPython) that supportPyScript as a full-fledged platform. At the end of the webinar, you’ll get a glimpse of what the (near) future of PyScript may look like.
