Graphs, Edges & Nodes: Untangling the Social Web
Facebook figures out people that you might already know, LinkedIn tells you how many degrees of separation there are between you and the CEO of Nokia, and LastFM suggests music based on your current listening habits. We’ll take a look at the basic theory behind how some of these features work (no comp. sci. degree required!), and show how you can implement some of these features in your application.
Joël Perras
Fictive Kin
Hi! My name is Joël, and I'm an ex-physicist turned web developer. Life is weird like that.
My days are spent building infrastructure and applications with the rest of the fine folk at Fictive Kin, and trying to lift heavy weights over my head on a regular basis. I've authored a book on application development in Python, Flask Blueprints, and blog about math and computer science at nerderati.com.
If you can program it, then I want to know more about it.
