Description

We've been told to stop writing objects. We've been told to write more objects.

In this talk, we cover the Python datamodel, when to begin writing objects, what methods to start with that leverage the Python data model, and how to use the "magic" methods of Python. This talk assumes you know a few of the basic builtin data structures of Python (dicts) and have at least passing familiarity with operators (+, -, * , /, in, etc...)

Which should we be doing? When? How?
