hexagonal Django
by Jonathan Hartley Sept. 11, 2014

Sept. 11, 2014

The last few weeks I've been thinking about the architectural pattern known as Clean, Onion, Hexagonal, or Ports'n'Adaptors <http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html> (http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html). I'm curious if many people are applying it in the Django world? I haven't, yet, but I'm thinking of refactoring a vertical slice of our monster Django app into this style, and I'd love to hear if you think it's crazy / brilliant / obvious / old-hat, etc. Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com http://tartley.com Made of meat. +44 7737 062 225 twitter/skype: tartley

Since a hotel room for two people seems to priced the same as a oom for one, I'd like to try to reduce the cost of accommodation by finding someone to share with, so if you already have a room with twin beds and would like to find a roommate, please let me know. Me: <http://medicine.cf.ac.uk/person/mr-daniele-marco-procida/>. I'm doing a tutorial at the conference, and will be staying Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. I am a non-smoker and try not to make too much of a nuisance of myself. Daniele

internship suggestions for a gap-year maths student?
by Harry Percival Aug. 19, 2013

Aug. 19, 2013

Hi all, My cousing Maddy is thinking of doing a gap year before she goes off to do Maths at uni. I was wondering if anyone had any interesting suggestions for things to do on her year off? Internships, short and long, paid and unpaid? Maths-related and STEM, but random left-field suggestions also much appreciated? HP -- ------------------------------ Harry J.W.
