Linting is a process where errors in the code can be flagged while source code is written. In other words, linting is a pre-build check, also called static code analysis. Experience how fast and easy it is to perform quick linting checks in Python first hand using Pylint — one of the most popular linting tools.

5 Tips for Writing Great Code Documentation

This video shares the essential principles for creating clear, concise, and effective code documentation. From commenting to docstrings, you’ll learn how to make your code documentation shine and improve accessibility for others.

Real Multithreading is Coming to Python - Learn How You Can Use It Now
Python is a 32 years old language, yet it still doesn't have proper, true parallelism/concurrency. This is going to change soon, thanks to the introduction of a "Per-Interpreter GIL" (Global Interpreter Lock) which will land in Python 3.12. While release of Python 3.12 is some months away, the code is already there, so let's take an early peek at how we can use it to write truly concurrent Python code using sub-interpreters API.

Implement DNS in a weekend
An interactive tutorial on implementing a basic DNS server using Python, guiding users through the process step-by-step with clear explanations and code examples, making it a useful resource for learning and understanding DNS server implementation.

Why you should still read the docs
Do you feel you're fighting your tools? Do you feel you're relying too much on autocomplete and inline documentation? Most good documentation won't show up in your IDE – rather, it is about how to use the library, and the problem the library is solving.

Optimize Django Query Performance by combining Select Related and Prefetch Related
When building a Django application, one of the key challenges developers face is optimizing database query performance. Django provides two tools,select_related and prefetch_related, that reduce the number of database queries, and increase the performance of your application. This post explores the power of these two methods and how to combine them to maximize your application’s query performance.

Integrals 300X Faster in Python (DON'T use SciPy)
