Building Fast, Distributed and Scalable Web Applications using ZeroMQ, Gevent and Pyramid
by Balaji Janakiram (speaking)
Objective
The aim is to build a generic framework using Gevent, ZeroMQ and Pyramid which can be used by to build fast, efficient, distributed and highly scalable backend applications.
Description
This workshop will demonstrate how to extract the power of fast messaging provided by ZeroMQ, concurrency through greenlets by Gevent and the sophisticated URL dispatching of Pyramid and combine into an amazing framework on top of which you can build fast, distributed and scalable applications.
Participants will build a distributed client-server application from bottom up using the above tools.
Prerequisites
Intermediate level knowledge of Python, Basic knowledge of ZeroMQ messaging patterns and working knowledge of web frameworks (like Pyramid, Django, Pylons, Flask, etc)
Requirements
Participants should have Python2.7 installed on their machines (preferably Linux/Unix).
Required Python Packages
gevent : Concurrency library based on greenlet and libevent.
zmq : Sockets on Steriods! We will use the ROUTER-DEALER flavor.
pyramid: Web application development framework
ujson: Ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder.
I would be providing a git repo with required packages and steps to install them soon.

Hi Balaji,
Workshops are 3-hour hands-on sessions. If you plan to do a workshop, please change the section to workshop.
Please mention what will the participants be building during the workshop. If you are going to make each participant build an application, then please mention what it is.
What are the prerequisites? What should each participant install on their computers before coming to the workshop?
Also, please provide links to your previous talks, github profile etc.

Hi Balaji, thanks for the updates! Can you also mention what is the application that you are going to build in the workshop? It'll help people to understand if this workshop is useful for them or not.
