Today I gave a Python 🐍 talk at @pycascades.

I took the attendees through a journey of inspecting plenty of different (crazy) implementations of the simple sign function!

Here are the links to the talk slides, the written version of the talk, and more!

Huge shout-out to the @pycascades organisers for creating such a wonderful and inclusive conf for everyone!

Interacted quite a bit w/ @AetherUnbound and she was always very helpful!

Also, thanks to @MaggieFero, @questionlp, @gizm0_0, @bengerman13 & others for the feedback.

The written version of the talk can be found on my blog 👇

It doesn't match the talk 100%, but the overall flow is pretty much the same!

The talk slides are available on GitHub (https://github.com/mathspp/talks) and the recording will be put up on YouTube soon-ish.

Btw, the #1 question I get is regarding what I use to create my slide animations 😂 It's Power Point '19 + the slide transition called "morph".

The (free) Python 🐍 book that teaches you how to use some of the things I mention during the talk, like

• Truthy and Falsy values; or
• conditional expressions
