Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com) is a robust, mature, open source
event-driven networking framework written in Python. Supported features
range from low-level network transports such as TCP, SSL, UDP, and
multicast, to high-level protocols including HTTP, DNS, SSH, SMTP and IMAP.
Twisted is used by companies large and small, including Apple, Justin.tv,
Canonical (makers of Ubuntu) and TweetDeck, and by open source projects
like Tahoe-LAFS.
If you want to build reliable, well-tested network applications in Python,
Twisted may be the tool you need. In this two-day class we will cover the
basic principles and core APIs of Twisted. Covered material will include
- Understanding Event Loops: we'll re-implement Twisted's core APIs
step-by-step (reactor, transport, protocol), explaining the why and how of
event-driven networking.
- TCP Clients and Servers.
- Scheduling Timed Events.
- Deferreds: the motivation and uses of Twisted's result callback
abstraction.
- Producers and Consumers: dealing with large amounts of data.
- Unit Testing: how to test your networking code.
- A large, self-paced exercise, implementing a HTTP server and client
from scratch using pre-written unit tests as guidance, and our help as
needed.
The class will take place on the Monday and Tuesday before PyCon 2013, so
might be suitable for out-of-town visitors as well.
Cost is $650 (early bird, available until Feb 15th), or $750 after that.

Itamar Turner-Trauring spent many years working on distributed applications
as part of ITA Software by Google's airline reservation system, coding in
Python (often using Twisted), C++ and a little bit of Common Lisp. Itamar
has also worked on projects ranging from a reliable multicast messaging
system with congestion control, a prototype-based configuration language,
to a multimedia kiosk for a museum. Itamar has been one of the core Twisted
maintainers since 2001.
