'An Introduction to Distributed Computation in Python' - Adam Green (Kiwi Pycon XI)

A 2 hour, beginner friendly tutorial on distributed computation in Python:

1. functional programming - the foundation for writing distributed Python code,
2. single machine distributed compute - threads & threading, processes & multiprocessing, asyncio,
3. many machine distributed compute - a look at the distributed computation ecosystem in Python, with a demonstration of an EC2/Dask/Coiled/Prefect stack running a Dask cluster on EC2.

What you will get out of this tutorial:

- functional programming fundamentals,
- concurrency, parallelism & asynchrony,
- why & how to use `multiprocessing` and `asyncio`,
- introduction to the ecosystem for distributing compute over many machines in Python,
- demonstration of using an EC2/Dask/Coiled/Prefect stack to deploy a Dask cluster to EC2.
