📢 After 2 weeks break, I'm back to the MongoDB livestream this afternoon! 🎉

I'm going to be building a FARM app with the Beanie ODM. We'll be talking about best practices with FastAPI & MongoDB, and a little about data modelling.

FastAPI (sponsored by MongoDB!) is a great platform for building apps with MongoDB.

Like all frameworks, there's some subtlety around how to do it right. I've put everything I know into this article - let me know if there's anything I've missed!

📢 I'm streaming at 2pm *BST* today!

I'm porting my (blocking) data-mapping library from #MongoDB PyMongo to 🏎️ Motor, so it'll work with FastAPI. Expect more low-level Python and MongoDB tips!

After that? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Help shape the content!

MongoDB is on 🔥 New tutorials from Richmond, videos from Jesse Hall #vsCodeHero 🦸 and Luce Carter, live streams from Judy2k, and tons of community contributions thanks Harshit Mehta, Karissa Fuller, and Veronica (and many others!). 👇

📢 Something different on the Livestream this week @ 2pm UTC!

I'm chatting to my colleague Anaiya about some cool API stuff she's built recently with Neurelo, Inc. and MongoDB. There will be a live demo and some conversation about the cool stuff she does.

My #Python livestream starts in 50 min! I'm integrating my MongoDB ODM into a FastAPI application, but first I have to make it work with asyncio! 🙀

There are some tough problems to overcome, but hopefully I can get there by the end of the stream!

On Saturday at the March for Palestine I led the crowd to sing “Yma o hyd” (“still here” in Cymraeg) and “Sumud” (“steadfast perseverance” in Palestinian) together

And above those beautiful voices I sang this poem by Ukranian-Jewish-Puerto Rican poet Aurora Levins Morales:

Going live in 15 minutes! I'm going to be fumbling around with #Python asyncio and #FastAPI and #MongoDB .

Wish me luck! 🍀🤞

You don't get feedback like this every day 😮🫶

New video: Is uv the future of Python Packaging?

I’ve set out with a yes/no question to keep it short, but somehow ended up contextualizing Python’s packaging problems and the video ended up 18 mins long.

Enjoy, like, subscribe, etc!

I'm live #Python coding again in just over an hour!

I'm going to be patching up some holes in my #MongoDB data access library, rounding off some corners and making it work well before next week's FastAPI integration. Come join me!

Really excited to share kolo's test generation abilities more widely – has been so cool to demo - not sure i'll ever get tired of the🤯reaction when the first integration test appears out of thin air!
Using Django? Try it and let me know what you think!

I'm #Python streaming again today! I'm adding the ability to record changes to documents and play them back to save changes to the database!

This may be a bit tricky, so if you want to watch an experienced Python developer mess up 👉🏻 5pm

We're very sad to announce the cancellation of PyCon UK 2024.

We've been hit by a perfect storm of factors that have made it impossible for us to run the conference this year - not least of which being the venue becoming unavailable due to unexpectedly extended renovation work.

📢 Another great #python & #mongodb livestream coming today at 3pm UTC! I'm building a data access library, and today we're going deep 🤿 into the python data model, following Paul Done's principles of resilience.

No metaclasses this week! 🤞

My god. What an indictment of 12 years of Tory govt.

Ciaran Jenkins has compared NHS performance in 2023 with that in 2011:

▪️x10 worse 4-hour A&E waits
▪️x13 worse 18 wk waits for care
▪️x14 worse cancer waits
▪️x16 worse 4-hour trolley waits
▪️x3,000 worse 12-hour trolley waits

I published my first ever AI tutorial yesterday: Build an Image Search Engine with MongoDB Vector Search. It was surprisingly straightforward, and kinda fun! 🦈
