Susan loves to drink hot cups of oolong tea while coding away.
Susan will be presenting A guided walkthrough of a new unfamiliar codebase (python-requests library) in 30 minutes. Imagine you’re a new engineer at a workplace who has to learn a new unfamiliar codebase. After you acquire a copy of the repo, what is your next step? How do you dissect a codebase to understand its inner workings? I’ll do a guided walkthrough of reading the widely used python-requests project, which gets over 18,000 downloads per day and powers many of the world’s REST-based APIs.
