PyTN Profiles: Dave Forgac (@tylerdave)
Dave Forgac has been a FOSS enthusiast ever since installing Linux for the first time in the late ‘90s. He got a taste of Python in the early 00’s and was hooked. He currently works as a Sr. Software Engineer at American Greetings where he is the API development team lead and also has a hand in Python application packaging and deployment. He has previously worked as a Linux Systems Administrator and web hosting Support Engineer, automating as much as possible using Python.
Dave will be presenting the tutorial “Writing Command Line Applications that Click” at 1PM Sunday. Click is a Python package that helps you create beautiful command line interfaces with minimal code. In this tutorial you will exercise the most commonly-used features of Click and get an overview of the more advanced functionality available. You will leave with an example application that you can use as a basis for your own command line development.
