Abstract
This talk will begin with a brief introduction to Twisted architectural concepts; a description of the event loop, connections, and timers. It will then segue into the many different features that Twisted offers, including command-line tools for running an out-of-the-box zero-configuration HTTP server, DNS server, IRC server, and SMTP server. This will also present the relative maturity and stability of each of these areas of the code, with a special emphasis on what level of expertise a developer should have before attempting to use them. Finally, I will describe some of the features that have been added to Twisted along the way, including some new and exciting developments that have been happening recently.
