Full-stack Python Web Applications
Kate Heddleston @heddle317
Python is often one part of a much larger system.

What we’re going to talk about... 1. A (semi) typical
web application 2. Dev, staging, production, deploy system 3. Helpful python libraries
What we’re not going to talk about... • Massively scalable
web applications. • Every single installation on the machine. • Nitty gritty details of anything.

3 Takeaways • What are the basic pieces of a
full-stack. • What do these pieces look like in different environments. • Resources for learning more and working with these pieces.
Ask your questions now. Kate Heddleston @heddle317 https://github.com/heddle317/full-stack-resources
“A complex system that works is invariably found to have
evolved from a simple system that works.” — John Gall, Systemantics (1975)
“A system is never finished being developed until it ceases
to be used.” — attributed to Gerald M. Weinberg
“It is as if perfection be attained not when there
is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Terre des Hommes (1939)
“There is no such thing as a small change to
a large system.” — systems folklore, source lost in the mists of time
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no
simpler.” — commonly attributed to Albert Einstein; it is actually a paraphrase of a comment he made in a 1933 lecture at Oxford
