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

PyconUK Early Bird tickets almost sold out...
by Nicholas H.Tollervey April 24, 2014

April 24, 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A quick heads-up... What the subject says. Early bird tickets (£110) are limited in number (apparently there are 11 left, so Mary Mooney tells me) and "run out" on the 1st May. After that you'll be able to get standard tickets at £150 until 5th Sept. Last minute tickets (from 6th Sept - PyconUK) are priced at the still amazingly good value of £200. Get 'em while they're hot!

Less than 50 early bird tickets left for PyconUK ZOMG!!!!
by Nicholas H.Tollervey April 16, 2014

April 16, 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Folks, A quick heads up. If you want an early-bird ticket for PyconUK, now is the time to book it. They're selling like hot-cakes and there's only a limited number. I believe there are just over 40 tickets left at the time of writing this email. http://pyconuk.org/registration/index.html Early-bird price is £110, standard is £150, last minute is £200. Early bird "runs out" at the end of this month, although it looks like we'll sell all the allotted number of early-birds before the deadline. Hurry! All the best, Nicholas. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTTjQHAAoJEP0qBPaYQbb65ZoH/jpZkb/FyhR3mMsGKmZWNdfE E8P7zWzxbcClNfkJzFQxKXGgAZPtDoQjXgdGGOr3nhKDXdvkDM7kwUpp7C7N9kT0 bg+DV56gIjcQMAQGrzL5XM7FopLh24rudq66inB3T7ps10DpFUAa9xq8pkekQLKr D009t9JgF3JCZUivaXWYGpWzP5dZYPgunr3F1KQqPMt7dVy6iEpvnT2ElQ31NMFi DYTxYG5Bx1f6th/ksQPhcoj4cJ6iHho9VjOwE6mXOMJhTuNDMJlKiUDbv3PtCgzL SCl1WrEllDoM+b8Cc+AIkyQ3YhxMcMA+0lfDYXX8rRZAIWh/9upBLOHf4Nm9kE4= =5C4c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
