Discuss popular Python coding conventions and learn how to incorporate them into your work to increase your code's readability.

As programmers, we try to write elegant code. This is for the benefit of those who may read and use our code in the future, including ourselves. As the PEP8 guide states, one of the key insights from Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, is that "code is read much more often than it is written." Readability is one of the essential qualities of beautiful code. Let's discuss popular Python coding conventions, and learn how to incorporate them into your work to increase your code's readability. This session will cover styles that will help you write code that is more conducive to collaboration, which will make you more attractive as a candidate or colleague in the industry.
