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

Next CamPUG meeting, Tue 1st July 2014
by Tony Ibbs June 26, 2014

June 26, 2014

From the Cambridge and East Anglian Python Users Group google group: The next meeting will be Tuesday 1st July, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://goo.gl/maps/ktqpS). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will be a talks meeting. Feel free to bring a talk (or lightning talk, or thing to ask advice about), but you get extra brownie points if you tell the list about it first. Meetings after that will be: • Tuesday 5th August, another doing stuff/miscellaneous meeting. I might not make this one, as it's getting close to the World Science Fiction Convention in London (www.loncon3.org, which is 14th-18th August). There's also EuroSciPy 27th-30th August, in Cambridge. • Tuesday 2nd September - come and practice your talks and lightning talks for PyConUK (Fri 19th .. Sun 21 September, not including the tutorials on the Monday); I should have at least a lightning talk. • Tuesday 7th October - a miscellaneous meeting, possibly talking about things learnt and fun had at PyConUK Tibs

Announcing the PyconUK Education Track
by Nicholas H.Tollervey June 13, 2014

June 13, 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Folks, Thanks to Steve Hawkes we have a wonderfully awesome landing page for the education track at PyconUK: http://pyconuk.org/education/ The PyconUK education track is all about the wonderful things that happen when diverse groups of people come together to learn about and work with fun technology. Know any teachers? Are you a teacher? Unsure what to do come September for the new national curriculum for IT? Come to PyconUK's teacher training day - an extraordinarily good value opportunity for CPD. Do you have kids who may be interested in playing with robots, Minecraft and other cool technology? Think they may enjoy coding with other kids under the guidance of experienced teachers and expert professional developers? Check out the kids' coding day at PyconUK. Last year was a blast. Tickets are limited! Check out the website (and see what teachers and kids got up to last year). Not for you? Tell your friends! Tweets and other forms of spreading the word etc... most welcome! :-) N. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTmtvqAAoJEP0qBPaYQbb61WUH/1QG2t8DOeDlDeIamkf9QbYL 9suRGFYqmloMCe6zZQFWQ1hLnSgL3Wt7s5JrVHcM3zRKy9co7DqNyJcvwkrtvIVI bWtre0Ec3fxmMe8GXLLkhBb2L9pwOkWxGyEojwhqKICJtZgXWwPG3MQGMXhI51Li TjzjKyKqum4AvGGttZcrwlF+bTYJaeY99nbfmSmdarkIN3ycwL6lR6c8YnfftDAs ECwbUpK4tsh4yUFX0oZDx+3aTpLvlORCtYcaei93yzBuIwjcMoluZJwmOu6RwmQK ALW/3lIAwvwUKPMxKcP1IB0sJBUo0XJ5tcqnRLCraE0eC+lVAXJV18gsMFqGZFE= =r772 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

TDD stuff in London, next two weeks (and list comprehension scoping)
by Harry Percival June 1, 2014

June 1, 2014

Hi Uk-Pythoneers! *(with apologies to the wise ones amongst us who have chosen to live well away from the Big Smoke)* I'm involved in a couple of Python/TDD things in the next couple of weeks, both free to attend: Outside-In TDD and Test Isolation: https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/6410-outside-in-tdd-and-test-isolation-how… (all about testing, isolation, mocking, and the pains thereof... it may to provide some insight into the #TDDisDead / DHH controversy, if you've been following that) Introduction to TDD workshop with Andrea Crotti: https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/6424-obey-the-testing-goat (a gentle introduction to TDD with Django, for anyone that can't make it to EuroPython this year) Hope they're of interest! HP PS Can I have a little moan about generator / list comprehension scoping in Python 3? I just ran into this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11669379/undefined-global-in-list-gener… -- so now I can't use variables from the enclosing scope inside my comprehensions? that sucks! Doesn't it? -- ------------------------------ Harry J.W. Percival ------------------------------ Twitter: @hjwp Mobile: +44 (0) 78877 02511 Skype: harry.percival
