This was an attempt to help share some of the fantastic tools that I've come across in Django and Python development. There will likely be a forthcoming blog post in this vein.

Aside from a few A/V problems, the talk went pretty well. The major points here are that there is no perfect editor, just a perfect editor for a specific person / use-case. There are 4 main classes of editors which were covered. Speaker notes included, so give me a shout if you have questions.

This was a preview of my PyCon talk for the folks at NYC Python. Got a bunch of helpful comments and much needed practice. Thanks to all who attended.

At the December meeting of django-nyc / nycpython, I gave a talk about some of the advanced concepts used by Django to achieve the declarative syntax. The bulk of the talk went over Django's model registration process with an emphasis on descriptors and metaclasses. I also talked briefly about decorators, in order to cover the major advanced python features.

In my EuroDjangoCon talk, I spoke about some of the benefits of Django as seen from a manager's perspective. The main goal here was to share my experiences in convincing my employers to use Django. I also shared a few of the bullet-point features that Django offers that is very appealing to people in mid- to upper-management.

The bulk of this talk was pulled from my article Django at 30,000ft: A manager's view, published by Python Magazine.
