While trying to get more familiar with Django, I started watching talks from DjangoCon from the last few years. I can’t seem to find the talk, but one of them had a list of great Python/Django talks, which inspired me to create me own list (with some definite overlap).

I have found that revisiting talks like these make me reconsider some design problems that I have recently worked through, so I want to keep a list and rewatch these periodically. I will likely add to this list in the future.

• Greg Ward - How to Write Reusable Code

• You Don’t Need That! - Christopher Neugebauer (About Design Patterns in Python)

• Raymond Hettinger - Beyond PEP 8 -- Best practices for beautiful intelligible code

• Raymond Hettinger - Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python

• Raymond Hettinger - Python's Class Development Toolkit

• Loop like a native: while, for, iterators, generators

These two go together (from DjangoCon2015): - Jane Austen on Pep 8 - Lacey Williams Henschel - The Other Hard Problem: Lessons and Advice on Naming Things by Jacob Burch
