Also, Adaptive Computing (the company a few of us uuglies work for) is going to sponsor pizza. Please let me know (either on this thread, or directly) if you're planning on attending. I'll get enough pizza for a few slices per person, and it's priority queue based on rsvp.
Also, please let me know if there's anything that you'd like emphasized. The currently outline looks something like this: 1) High-level overview of what django is, what it does well, what it doesn't do (10 mins) 2) installation, starting a project and an app (5-10 mins) 3) development tips (developing away from the actual site, and how to set that up) 3) contents of a django directory: - settings.py (5 mins) - urls.py (5 mins) 4) what django people mean by MVC: - Models and intro to the admin panel (30 mins) -- - Views (20 mins) - Templates (10 mins) 5) A (the recommended) deployment example, with links to other possibilities (20 mins). All the while I intend to replicate my html5 video archive (from my personal site; 95 lines of code).
