Blurb for the Kamaelia tutorial:

Kamaelia: Pragmatic Concurrency

Tutorial, Half day (intermediate)

Why use concurrency? Since concurrency is viewed as an advanced topic by many developers, this question is often overlooked. However, many real world systems, including transportation, companies, electronics and Unix systems are highly concurrent and accessible by the majority of people. One motivation can be “many hands make light work” but in software this often appears to be false – in no small part due to the tools we use to create systems. Despite this, the need for concurrency often creeps into many systems.

Kamaelia is a toolset and mindset aimed at assisting in structuring your code such that you can focus on the problem you want to solve, but in a way that results in naturally reusable code that happens to be painlessly concurrent. It was designed originally to make maintenance of highly concurrent network systems simpler, but has general application in a wider variety of problem domains, including desktop applications, web backend systems (eg video transcode & SMS services), through to tools for teaching a child to read and write.

This tutorial will cover:

• A fast overview in the style of a lightning talk.
• Kamaelia's core – Axon – which provides the basic tools needed for concurrent systems, followed by a session on implementing your own core.
• Practical walk throughs of real world Kamaelia systems to demonstrate how to build and design systems of your own.
• More advanced concepts such as reusing centralised services and constrained data sharing, as well as ongoing open issues will be touched upon.
• Tips, tricks and rules of thumb when working with concurrent systems.

During this highly practical tutorial, where you will create your own version of Axon, your own components and first Kamaelia based system (bring a laptop!). The course expects a level of familiarity with Python but no prior experience of concurrency is assumed.

The structure of this in terms of time is 2 x 1.5 hour sessions, with a 15 minute break in the middle, so hopefully enough time to impart enough useful knowledge to help you get started with Kamaelia.

Also, if Kamaelia isn't interesting to you (sob :),  Ali Afshar who hangs out on Kamaelia's IRC channel is also giving a tutorial there on PyGTK, along with lots of other people giving interesting tutorials and talks :-)
