Does anyone have a module available that can do a calendar? The winter thread below involved a whole bunch of coding-from scratch.
I'm not yet a super-coder... (I do have coding skillsets) and I'm just learning django, and python. I figure I'll learn django best if I have a real project; And the real project I have in mind would involve promoting potluck meals. So event listings, and calendar display would be great. Also a mapping component (type in an address, get back a map that displays with the event detail page) I'd like to start from as much already-available code as I can. I like the idea, described below of: "Tastypie makes it really easy to talk json to...backbone and plotting the appointments in fullcalendar..." and wow, that sample fullcalendar page looks terrific: http://blog.shinetech.com/2011/08/05/building-a-shared-calendar-with-backbone-js-and-fullcalendar-a-step-by-step-tutorial/ but honestly, I'll do best to start with a working repo.... (events, calendar, address mapping) (It makes me wonder if anyone has wrapped up a whole bunch of sample django apps, for easy reuse in general.)
