#pyconau Data Structures: A learning journey - Izy Hogan http://youtu.be/RKMAACeFFrE
"Data Structures: A learning journey" - Izy Hogan (PyCon AU 2025)
Follow my journey from drowning in the world of data structures to understanding through implementation. Skip Lists... What are they? Why are they? And how do they work? These are all questions I sought to answer after I discovered them in the wild. Come and find out why I think writing your data structures from scratch might be the best way to understand them.

#pyconau Building with Multiple Languages: A Python-First Approach - Ramon Perez http://youtu.be/yRetfEOdnT4
"Building with Multiple Languages: A Python-First Approach" - Ramon Perez (PyCon AU 2025)
Python is slow for certain tasks. That's not news. The usual response is to either accept the performance hit or rewrite everything in another language. There's a third option: use Python as the control centre and delegate specific tasks to languages that excel at them. This talk provides practical patterns for building polyglot applications. I'll show JavaScript handling real-time web

"Keynote: You are welcome in this world" - Larene Le Gassick (PyCon AU 2025)
Designing for inclusion isn’t about ticking boxes, avoiding lawsuits, or expanding markets—it’s about people. True inclusion starts with the individuals we meet and the stories we choose to share. My journey into digital accessibility has been deeply personal—shaped by my Dad, who was blind, navigating a world that too often overlooks people like him. As the designers and builders of

"The Primordial Code" - Nick Moore (PyCon AU 2025)
You, by which I mean all the Eukaryotes in the audience, are running on an operating system a couple of billion years old. Every cell in your body is full of primordial libraries, monkey patches, self-modifying code, viral hacks and even containers embedding a different operating system. This talk is all about the freakish parallels between cell biology and computer architecture, and will leave

"Skill Issue" - Benno Rice (PyCon AU 2025)
With the arrival of large language models and the generative tools built on them we have seen a huge increase in pressure to use these tools in our work. This worries me, but it's hard to easily explain why. Am I being paranoid? Or just overly opposed to a change that's inevitable? Is it just... a skill issue? I invite you to listen to me dig through the history of the relationship

"Found Font Family" - Zain Afzal (PyCon AU 2025)
It's impossible to do software without the power of fonts and text rendering. They underpin the terminal we use to run our code, the browsers we use to run our web apps and the emails we get paid too much to write. But for many they are a black box of standards and code that seems to effortlessly click together, until they don't. This talk explores how this works from font file structures,

"The Birdwatcher’s Guide to Optimised Tabular Data Pipelines" - Jenya Bogacheva (PyCon AU 2025)
Sometimes you inherit a clunky pipeline. Sometimes an LLM writes one for you. Either way, you’re stuck with something slow, memory-hungry, and hard to scale. This talk is about what happens next — how to turn a naive tabular data pipeline into something fast, efficient, and scalable. You’ll get a guided tour through a zoo of optimization techniques: reducing algorithmic complexity, minimizing
