PyGotham 2015
Our developers attended PyGotham on Aug 15 & 16 at AMA Executive Conference Center in Midtown Manhattan. The event was a two-day Python focused conference with 30 lectures covering everything from Hacking with Python to Using Python to Decode Sarcasm in Speech. The conference also included various social events which gave us the opportunity to speak with developers from industries outside of Financial Services.
We were in all agreement on what our favorite class was: Introduction to open and collaborative data analysis with pandas and IPython/Jupyter Notebook. Check out the video.
Python Training Class

Monticello Consultants Attend Career Day
MCG consultants proudly attended the 'Lets Get Ready' organization's 12th Annual NYC Career Day on July 26th. Career Day program provides high school students with the opportunity to speak with professionals working in careers they may be interested in and participate in workshops on resume building and networking skills.
This was MCG's first time attending a 'Lets Get Ready' event but not the last. The MCG team most enjoyed the opportunity to speak with the students one on one. They fielded students questions ranging from which colleges to consider, majors to explore, financial aid options and generic questions related to business and finance. “It was a very rewarding experience” said MCG’s Anthony Poerio. “Many of the students were not aware of all the opportunities and careers available to them in the Business world.” “It was refreshing to see so many students actively interested in planning and thinking about the college and careers afterwards.”
The MCG team looks forward to working with ‘Lets Get Ready’ in their next events.
