Leanpub Book LAUNCH 🚀 Practical Python for Production Under Pressure by Alex Telford

Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Practical Python for Production Under Pressure: Managing the insanity that is developing pipelines alongside a production at full speed by Alex Telford!

About the Book

Developing tools and pipelines for use in Film and Games is a unique challenge, where we must finely balance speed, stability, usability, and performance.

Everything is always urgent, everything is always broken, and we developers are left scrambling to hold the system together while begging production for time to "do things properly" and clean up accumulated code debt.

In a sense, it's like being in a pit crew; getting the driver back out there is your number one priority, sometimes with more duct tape than we care to admit.

That is what this book is about: how to deliver better tools while facing the uphill battle of a production in full swing and hopefully retaining some semblance of sanity at the end.

Prerequisites

This book is aimed at TDs and technical artists with an interest in production pipelines, but as it's mostly theory you should be able to get by with the basics.

Provided you have some experience with python and PySide you should get along fine.
