NonBlocking (Async) Tornado Presentation for CharPy

NonBlocking (Async) Tornado Presentation for Charlotte Python Group

There are slides and example code. I had a lot of fun making and giving this presentation. Got some good feedback and would like to give it again so I can continue to improve it and my presentation skill. Please give me feedback to improve the presentation or let me know if any other groups would be interested in it.

  1. Thanks for the great presentation. Tornado does look like a very nice, easy to use library for asynchronous communication. I'll be comparing it with Twisted soon as I need to learn Twisted.

    BTW, have you looked into using coroutines for asynchronous communication as an alternative or augmentation to an event-based approach? I haven't really tried it myself, but I have read about server frameworks in at least Smalltalk and Lisp that use coroutines or the lower-level building blocks continuations. It seems that PEP 342 might be useful for asynchronous communication, but I don't how much people are doing with it yet.

  2. I am a fan of coroutines I just haven't had much time to experiment with them in Python. PEP 342 would be very useful and would be my prefered method for concurrency. The little code I have written in go (golang) I found coroutines very user friendly.

  3. I just realized that one of the libraries you mentioned, Eventlet does use coroutines.
