Anvil: full-stack web apps with nothing but Python

Learn how Anvil works under the bonnet from one of its developers. Meredydd Luff will explain the challenges of building a programming system that’s easy to use without sacrificing power.

With Anvil, you can design your page visually, write your browser-side and server-side code in pure Python, and even set up a built-in database in seconds.

Meredydd has been programming since the halcyon days of QBasic and Delphi, when it was easy to get started building software. He created Anvil to bring those days back. Meredydd has worked in startups from telecomms to music, and has a PhD in the usability of programming from Cambridge.

The talk will be 40 minutes long and will start at 19:15, followed by questions and discussion.
