PyCon Pune 2017

The talk focuses on how developers (Web / Machine Learning / Data Science / Services) can use Python along with the PaaS, IaaS offerings of Microsoft Azure to build applications in Python and easily deploy them in a few clicks to Microsoft Azure. The talk will showcase rapid web development with flask and django from setup of the project, development and deployment of the web applications to azure websites. It’ll also showcase running python background tasks and time based tasks like triggers using Azure webjobs and webservices. The entire talk and demos would be done using open source tools like Python tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) while showcasing capabilities like using multiple virtual environments, built in debuggers a powerful IDE.
