We've been collecting slides, videos and notes from PyCon on Lanyrd. Here's our collection:<p><a href="http://lanyrd.com/2013/pycon/coverage/" rel="nofollow">http://lanyrd.com/2013/pycon/coverage/</a><p>(Or browse from the schedule: <a href="http://lanyrd.com/2013/pycon/schedule/" rel="nofollow">http://lanyrd.com/2013/pycon/schedule/</a> )<p>88 slide decks and 53 videos so far.
Anyone else think "Sweet Jesus" when this link turned out to be a list of very interesting and widely appealing Python-related videos instead of something to do with purported sexism?
Some amazing content in here.<p>Love the talk on how the internet works, it's a great intro for people who are getting into the web.<p>Getting started with automated testing is a great intro for that subject as well.<p>Also, kudos to the Pycon video team for getting these videos up less than a week after the conference!<p>Note: Looks like the videos are still being uploaded.
For those of you looking for a refresher, there is a Linear Algebra class coming up in June on Coursera that uses Python as the main language for a variety of applications. I'm very excited for it, should be fun.
Here's what I desperately want: A ranking of these videos so I could tell which ones are the best. There are going to be so many and I don't have time to go through them all. If people were able to vote on the ones they liked so I could see just the top 20 videos, that would be superb.
For watching on an iOS device, I just discovered the 'Swift Player' app for enabling 2x playback, swipe-10s-jump, and background audio playback for videos on YouTube and elsewhere:<p><a href="http://tapparatus.com/swift" rel="nofollow">http://tapparatus.com/swift</a>
I really enjoyed Raymond Hettinger's keynote and his classful development in Python session. Intermediate and advanced Python programmers should watch these as soon as they are up!
Anyone has a good recommendation on "must see" video from pycon? Most of them look quite interesting (python at netflix, automated testing, Guido's keynote etc.) but if someone has any suggestions please let me know :)
The elasticsearch talk (<a href="http://pyvideo.org/video/1784/elasticsearch-part-1-indexing-and-querying" rel="nofollow">http://pyvideo.org/video/1784/elasticsearch-part-1-indexing-...</a>) is fantastic. Can't wait for part 2.
Since my talk isn't up yet, I'll self-plug:

It's great to see how far pyvideo's gone since early last year. It may be because I'm still on the noob side of Python, but it's been an amazing resource since my first visit.
