When we talk about scaling software, threading and async get all the buzz.

And while they are powerful, using asynchronous cues can often be much more effective.

You might think this means creating a celery server and maybe running Rabbit MQ or Redis as well.

What if you wanted this async ability and many more message exchange patterns like PubSub,

but you wanted to do zero of that server work,

none of it. Then you should check out ZeroMQ. ZeroMQ is to queuing what Flask is to web apps,

a powerful and simple framework for you to build just what you need. You're almost certain to learn

some new networking patterns and capabilities in this episode with our guest, Min Regan Kelly.

He's here to discuss ZeroMQ for Python, as well as how ZeroMQ is central to the internals of Jupiter notebooks.

$100 credit. If you've ever wanted to work with Python's data science tools like Jupiter

notebooks and pandas, but you wanted to do it like you worked with Excel with a spreadsheet

and a visual designer, check out Mido. One quick announcement before we get to the interview.

We'll be giving away five tickets to attend

PyCon US 2021. This conference is one of the primary sources of funding for the PSF, and it's going to be
