SUMMARY:Build a Simple Agentic App: From Tool Calls to Safe Answers
DESCRIPTION:This presentation deconstructs the repository’s Python support agent into ordinary\, reusable parts. Attendees follow a ticket through the function-calling cycle—model\, action\, observation\, next decision\, and final answer—then learn to recreate that pattern using narrow read-only tools\, JSON schemas\, an explicit execution allow-list\, and message history. The second half introduces the boundaries that make the application trustworthy: input and output validation\, a six-turn limit\, session isolation\, safe escalation\, and offline scripted-model tests. Three support scenarios demonstrate grounded resolution\, incident awareness\, and knowing when not to guess. \nVegasTech

SUMMARY:Building MCP Servers in Python
DESCRIPTION:The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard layer between an AI model and the outside world — the conduit that carries structured requests out to external tools and data and brings results back\, over one consistent protocol. In this hands-on hour we start from zero: what MCP is\, why it exists\, and how its client–server architecture works. Then we build a working MCP server in Python from scratch\, starting with the high-level FastMCP decorators and dropping into the low-level SDK to see what runs underneath. We finish by taking that server to production: remote HTTP transport\, authentication\, and deployment. No prior MCP knowledge required\, and all Python experience levels are welcome. You’ll leave able to write\, run\, and ship your own server.

SUMMARY:PyTorch for Beginners\, by a Beginner
DESCRIPTION:We’ll have a presentation on PyTorch with more details to come. \nPyTorch is a powerful\, open-source machine learning library primarily developed by Meta AI that has become the industry standard for building and training deep learning models. It functions like a flexible mathematical sandbox\, utilizing GPU-accelerated multidimensional arrays called “tensors” and a dynamic computation graph that allows developers to run and debug neural networks line-by-line in real time. Because of its native integration with Python and its built-in automatic differentiation engine\, PyTorch is highly favored by both researchers and engineers\, serving as the foundational infrastructure behind world-changing AI technologies. \nVegasTech

SUMMARY:Typed Python: Contracts That Keep Developers and AI from Guessing
DESCRIPTION:This presentation shows how strong typing in Python turns implicit assumptions into explicit contracts that protect your code from both human error and AI-generated mistakes. It covers the practical value of typing in day-to-day engineering: replacing loose dictionaries with defined data types\, typing classes\, methods\, and functions clearly\, using generics to build reusable abstractions\, and applying protocols to create safer interfaces around poorly typed libraries such as boto3. The session also makes the AI case directly: when your codebase has clear types and stable contracts\, developers and AI tools have less room to guess\, invent shapes\, or misuse APIs. Strong typing improves readability\, catches interface drift earlier\, makes refactoring safer\, and gives code generation tools much tighter boundaries to operate within. The core message is that typed Python is not just documentation or style — it is a practical safety system for modern development. \nVegasTech
