One you feel comfortable with a tool’s documentation, it unlocks a new level of capabilities.

Python’s documentation is generally good, but getting comfortable with it takes some effort.

This month, Chris May will show us around the documentation and show tools that help him find what he needs fast and surface new options to get things done.

You’ll walk away with some resources that will help you on your programming journey and more ability to find what you need.

**Schedule**
5:45 pm - Doors Open / Social
6:30 pm - Meeting Start
7:30 pm - Wrap-up
8:00 pm - Prologue (Social in Scotts Addition)

**All events are open to all skill levels**. If you're just starting out, come to learn and feel free to ask questions. That's where the real learning happens. If you're a more seasoned developer, we'd love to learn from you. Despite what the Zen of Python says, there are usually more than one way to do something, so share your knowledge!

**Free parking** is available in the surface level parking lots on either side of the Ippon building.

Josh will present a demonstration and explanation (as best he can) of Claude Code and how to think about integrating it into your workflow.

Claude Code is a command-line tool from Anthropic that can read your codebase, run your tests, and make changes to your files autonomously. In this talk we’ll walk through what it actually does, how to set it up, and where it fits into a normal development workflow. We’ll cover several live demos using real code — including refactoring a script into a package, generating a pytest suite from scratch, and tracking down a bug from a traceback. We’ll also talk honestly about where it works well and where it doesn’t.

You can park in the Trustee Lot. The lot does have a gate with a code but the gate should be open at the time of the meeting, and so you should not need a code. If you find that you do need the code send me a message at any time and I will send it to you.

• What we'll do
Learners and complete Python novices are welcome as well as experts. If you want to start something new, please see this as an opportunity to jump start the project. If you need help with an existing coding project, bring it with you and we will have a look at it. If you want to show your complete code to someone else to test it, or if you just want to consult with python experts you are welcome.

The format will be different than regular since this joins the Austin and DC python communities:

6:30 CST = 7:30 EST we will start the meeting. Join the meetup to view the link.
This link may change, so please check this link again before the meeting.

7 CST = 8 EST: Announcement + Demo

Around 7:30 CST = 8:30 EST continue discussions or break into smaller groups.

Although this online meeting is different, for those new to this meetup, please check out previous meetups we had to get an idea of what to expect. Here is a link to previous meetups:
https://github.com/Jacob-Barhak/EveningOfPythonCoding

You will find there demo code and the folk who presented them. Feel free to clone and star demos that were useful to you.

An Evening of Python Coding

Online event

🙋‍♀️ Join us for the AgentCamp 2026 is the global initiative where AI enthusiasts and developers come together to learn, share, and grow their AI knowledge!

**Workshop 1 - Build a Pizza Ordering Agent with Microsoft Foundry and MCP**
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to build domain-specific AI agents with Foundry Agent Service. Starting from a simple agent, you’ll add system prompts, custom instructions, and knowledge with RAG. You’ll extend it with tool calling (like a pizza calculator) and connect external services via MCP for live menu and order handling. By the end, you’ll have a working Contoso PizzaBot that can answer questions, recommend pizzas, and manage orders.
*Duration:* 90 Minutes

**Workshop 2 - Semantic Search & Multi-Agent AI with DocumentDB**
Go from zero to AI-powered search! Learn vector embeddings, build a RAG chatbot, and create multi-agent workflows using DocumentDB, OpenAI, and LangGraph in this hands-on workshop
*Duration*: 90 Minutes

**Workshop 3 - The AI Podcast Studio Workshop**
Welcome to The AI Podcast Studio! You're about to launch your own tech podcast called "Future Bytes" — but here's the twist: you'll build an AI-powered production team to help you create it. No more endless hours of research, scriptwriting, and audio editing. Instead, you'll code your way to becoming a podcast producer with AI superpowers.
By the end of this workshop, you'll know how to:
🤖 Deploy your own local AI model (no API costs, no cloud dependency!)
🔧 Build specialized AI agents that actually work together
🎬 Create a complete podcast production pipeline from idea to audio
*Duration*: 90 Minutes

**AgentCamp 2026 Keynote "The Future of AI Agents: AgentCamp 2026 Keynote"**
Welcome to the era of the Agentic Enterprise. 🌐
In this official keynote for AgentCamp 2026, we move beyond the "chatbot" and dive into the world of autonomous AI agents that can think, plan, and execute. Join Microsoft leaders and industry pioneers as they reveal how AI is evolving from simple deterministic systems into a collaborative, reasoning workforce.
What’s inside this Keynote:
✨ The Glow-Up: From Global AI Bootcamp to AgentCamp—why 2026 is the year of the Agent.
🛠️ From Research to Reality: Lili Cheng (Microsoft Research) shares the journey from the first bot frameworks to the sophisticated agents of today.
📈 The Rule of 5: Discover Dean Caragnan’s simple framework for identifying the perfect AI automation targets in your workflow.
🏗️ Engineering Reliability: A deep dive into "Guidance" technology—bringing control and determinism to the probabilistic world of LLMs.
💡 The Builder’s Mindset: Jay Parikh (Core AI) on why curiosity and delegation are the new must-have skills for developers.

📆 **Agenda**
18:00-18:15 Introductions, Keynote "The Future of AI Agents: AgentCamp 2026 Keynote" preview, setup
18:15-19:50 Workshop of your choice
19:50-20:00 Closing remarks

AgentCamp Amsterdam 2026

We are continuing our Study group online for the time being.
We are now meeting online in the San Diego Python Discord server! Here is the link to join: [https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ](https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ)
There is a "meetup" voice/video channel that we will be using!

We may start meeting in person soon! This will be discussed at the meetup. We are considering having some online, some in-person. Decisions, decisions!

Every Saturday we meet up with the larger Python community (including San Diego PyLadies (http://www.meetup.com/sd-pyladies), Open BioInformatics San Diego (https://www.meetup.com/Open-Bioinformatics-SanDiego/) and San Diego Artificial Intelligence (https://www.meetup.com/SanDiegoAI/)) to chat, learn, and hang out.

Our study group is for everyone on their Python journey, whether you're just starting out, an experienced pro, or anywhere in between. There's no formal instruction, just a bunch of folks who like to code. Sometimes we talk about a specific subject, sometimes answer questions, whatever!

Python Community Code of Conduct (http://www.pythonsd.org/coc): Python is much more than a software language. Python is a vibrant community made up of members from around the globe with a diverse set of skills, personalities, and experiences. It is through these differences that our community experiences great successes and continued growth. Overall, we're good to each other. We contribute to this community not because we have to, but because we want to.
