As application complexity increases, observing it in action becomes harder. Traditional tools are not very useful when going across programing languages. DTrace is a revolutionary tool that allows you to observe applications in AMP stack and those written in languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, C, C++ and much more. This session will teach you DTrace and demonstrate techniques of using it. Read more.

Design patterns can be very useful in Python (as in any other language) but there are right ways and wrong ways to choose which ones to implement, and how to implement. This advanced tutorial offers many practical examples of "the good, the bad, and the beautiful" ("the ugly" doesn't apply to Python!-) and some theoretical underpinnings for them. Read more.
