SQLAlchemy and data access in Python

Episode #5, published Tue, Apr 28, 2015, recorded Thu, Apr 9, 2015

In this episode we speak with Mike Bayer. Mike created SQLAlchemy in 2005 and over the past 10 years has been building and refining this amazing RDBMS ORM and data access layer.

You'll learn a lot about the history of the project and how it has evolved over time. You'll also here where Mike got some of his inspiration for the design patterns used in the library.

So what are you waiting for? Maybe it's time to

pip install sqlalchemy
