en-US In this workshop, three key pillars of Python development will be explored: error handling, user-defined functions, and database programming.

First, the tools needed to build robust and resilient code will be introduced through comprehensive error-handling techniques. Participants will be shown how errors can be anticipated and managed gracefully, ensuring that programs function smoothly and remain reliable in the face of unexpected challenges.

Next, the power of user-defined functions will be examined, allowing modular and reusable code to be created. Advanced function design, parameter handling, and return statements will be covered, enabling efficient and maintainable programs to be developed.

Finally, database programming concepts will be presented to demonstrate how databases can be accessed and managed using Python. Techniques for connecting to, querying, and manipulating databases will be introduced, providing valuable skills applicable to real-world scenarios.

By the end of the session, a deeper understanding of Python's capabilities will have been gained, allowing more sophisticated, error-resistant, and scalable programs to be developed.

Learning outcomes:

- Implement effective error-handling strategies in Python.
- Create and use user-defined functions for modular programming.
- Work with function parameters and return values.
- Interact with databases through Python code.
- Build more reliable and scalable Python applications.

To participate in the hands-on lab during the session, you will need to provide your own computer with a web browser and a reliable internet connection.

Trailer: Almost Paradise

SYPNOSIS

Spanish, Italian, English, with English subtitles

With Andrea Arcangeli, Karol Sevilla, Miguel Rodarte, Esmeralda Pimentel

What happens when a charismatic Italian “count” and social media influencer crashes Mexico’s high society?

Almost Paradise stands out as one of the most incisive and entertaining Mexican comedies of recent years. Based on Luis Spota’s classic satirical novel, the film reimagines its story for the contemporary world of Instagram fame and viral scandals.

Meet Ugo Conti: aristocrat, influencer, and master of reinvention. He arrives in Mexico and effortlessly seduces the country’s elite with impeccable style and European sophistication, becoming the ultimate symbol of malinchismo—the fascination with all things foreign—while exposing entrenched elitism and corruption with delicious irony.

But when he reunites with Frida Becker, the love of his past, Ugo is drawn into a dangerous struggle for political power. Once his secret is revealed, the same circles that once idolized him turn against him with ruthless efficiency.
