From the post:
If you weren’t able to attend PyData NYC, or would like another opportunity to watch a talk or tutorial, you now have the chance. Conference videos are posted on Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/channels/pydata.
Four talks by the Continuum team were among the many great presentations at PyData. Be sure and check out their videos as well as the others.
Francesc Alted gave a tutorial on PyTables. He explained the basics of using HDF5 through PyTables and how it leverages HDF5 to allow Python to perform efficient computations over extremely large datasets that do not fit in memory.
Stephen Diehl spoke on Blaze, a next-generation NumPy sponsored by Continuum. It is designed as a foundational set of abstractions on which to build out-of-core and distributed algorithms. He explained how Blaze generalizes many of the ideas found in popular PyData projects such as Numpy, Pandas, and Theano into one generalized data-structure.
Hugo Shi and Travis Oliphant taught a tutorial on SciPy that included an overview of the modules that are most relevant for data analysis.
Stefan Urbanek presented, Python for Business Intelligence, an introduction to business intelligence, data warehousing and online analytical processing with Cubes.
A welcome alternative to the upcoming season of tawdry news conferences.
