ACS Masterclass: Introduction to Python Part 2
In our first masterclass we set up a simple static website - the kind of app that displays the same page every time a user visits it. In this extension masterclass, we will continue exploring the Python programming language by examining how Python’s Django library can be used to set up a dynamic website, which can update the information it displays based on interactions with users.

About this event
In our first masterclass we set up a simple static website - the kind of app that displays the same page every time a user visits it. In this extension masterclass, we will continue exploring the Python programming language by examining how Python’s Django library can be used to set up a dynamic website, which can update the information it displays based on interactions with users. This will see us discussing:
- Data flow in a Django API
- Database design
- Models vs Serialisers
- Dynamic Views
- Dynamic Templating

The Masterclass will include some practical code-along exercises.
Speakers
Oliver Lavers is a data analyst and software developer based in Brisbane, Australia. He found his passion for computer science while studying symbolic logic at the University of Queensland, and specialises in Python and Javascript. As a child he wanted to be an inventor; in highschool he wanted to be a science communicator. As an adult, he is living his dream by writing code and mentoring student developers. In his spare time he hikes, climbs, and plays board games.
Zachary is an emerging professional in the Data Science field, with domain knowledge in Health Science. He enjoys the problem-solving nature of his studies and is excited about his future career prospects given the modern advancements in technology and the ubiquitous supply of data, which collectively provide a capability to solve problems that until recently weren’t possible. These problems cannot be solved without people though, this reasoning leads to him being a part of the ACS QLD Emerging Professionals Committee, which is a medium to bring people together and empower one another to achieve their career goals.
