"Since autumn 2021, there is an "Automation in Python" course for first-semester IT students here at OST. This talk will tell the story on how it all came to be, what surprises you run into when you're suddenly responsible for 120 students, and how automating things in Python played a big role when teaching about automating things in Python." About the speaker: Florian ("The Compiler") discovered Python in 2011 and fell in love with it. He is a long-time contributor and maintainer of pytest as well as various plugins. In 2013, he started the qutebrowser project, a keyboard-focused web browser based on Python and Qt, which grew from a hobby into a part-time job. Since 2021, he's responsible for teaching Python here at OST.
