Are you interested by utilizing Python in an business outdoors of software program improvement? Would including a couple of customized software program instruments improve effectivity and make your coworkers’ jobs simpler? This week on the present, Josh Burnett talks about utilizing Python as a mechanical engineer.
I met Josh at PyCon US 2022 in Salt Lake Metropolis, which he attended for the primary time with a number of coworkers. He steered we do an episode to shed some mild on ways in which Python is getting used professionally by individuals who aren’t primarily programming for a residing.
Josh works as a mechanical engineer for an tools producer, the place he must carry out repetitive duties and generate copious logs. He explains how he moved his staff away from MATLAB and towards Python.
We talk about his development from writing scripts to growing packages and ultimately internet hosting his work on PyPI. He additionally shares his explorations with CircuitPython for private {and professional} tasks.
Course Highlight: Building Python Project Documentation With MkDocs
On this video course, you’ll learn to construct skilled documentation for a Python bundle utilizing MkDocs and mkdocstrings. These instruments assist you to generate nice-looking and fashionable documentation from Markdown information and, extra importantly, out of your code’s docstrings.
