From elizabeth.leddy at gmail.com Tue Oct 4 04:19:02 2011 From: elizabeth.leddy at gmail.com (Elizabeth Leddy) Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:19:02 -0700 Subject: [Baypiggies] Plone and Pyramid Training in November in Downtown San Francisco Message-ID: <4E8A6D16.8080306@gmail.com> Hey Baypiggies - The 2011 Plone conference is in San Francisco this November and comes complete with introductory formal training for both Plone and Pyramid. If you have been curious about either python based web framework, I highly encourage you to check out the trainings and/or the conference. Descriptions for the trainings are below and will be held November 1st and 2nd. For more information or to register for any training, please go to http://ploneconf.org/event/training. The conference itself will have 3.5 days of talks on Plone, Pyramid, and related technologies such as Git, WSGI, Javascript, and more. The conference is November 3-6 and the full schedule of talks is at http://2011ploneconference.sched.org/. The conference is limited to 400 tickets and will be followed by a 2.5 day sprint on Pyramid and Plone. Tickets are $350/person - a very modest price for being in downtown San Francisco. All the details are at http://ploneconf.org. This is all coordinated by local baypiggies so if you have any questions feel free to ping me directly! Liz (eleddy) *Getting off the Ground with Plone --- Cris Ewing* So you've heard about Plone, this smart, secure and powerful content management system and you'd like to get started. Where to begin? This training course is for you.You'll learn how to install Plone, how to create your first website and get started adding content, how to get quick, simple victories for your new project, and how to deploy your site when you're ready to go live. *Pyramid for Humans --- Paul Everitt* Pyramid has emerged as a fast, modern, lightweight web framework for the Pylons and Zope communities. When you just need a web app, and not a full CMS, Pyramid lets you retain many of the same Plone technologies. This hands-on tutorial covers a little about a lot: practical introductions to the most common facilities. Fun, fast-paced, and most certainly not aimed at experts. * Theming Plone 4 --- Chrissy Wainwright* This training session includes front-end design of a Plone 4.0 site from start to finish using two methods: Traditional Plone theming, and using plone.app.theming. The training will be a hands-on, introductory walk-through of the process, using a pre-created sample design. Attendees will need their computers and will be expected to follow along on their own local instances. *Plone Development Environment and Deployment Masterclass --- Martin Aspeli* Learn to develop and deploy like a Plone pro! On the first day, you will learn how to set up a powerful and productive development environment, employing the tools the professionals use to debug, document and release manage their code. The second day will focus on caching, performance optimisation, deployment configuration and application lifecycle management. Technologies covered will include: Buildout; mr.developer; the Python debugger; plone.reload; Sphinx; PyPI-style distribution management; plone.app.caching; HAProxy; Varnish; and nginx. *Creating Custom Content Types with Dexterity --- Steve McMahon* With Plone 4, the Dexterity content-type-development framework has become a practical and desirable alternative to the Archetypes framework Plone has featured in previous versions. This course will show how it's possible to use Dexterity now to build reliable and maintainable new content types for Plone 4+. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have a small, experienced engineering team and it is time to hire a few more. We run with Python on our server side for reasons that are obvious to this audience. In particular, we are looking for someone to come in and (a) contribute on the application server and expand into more of our stack and (b) be our resident Django expert. Know the platform, keep abreast of the latest Django modules (South, TastyPie, Haystack, etc. etc.) and implement a cutting edge web application. We are a small but experienced team of startup veterans, looking forward to bringing on someone new and learning everything they know. For more information, check out our jobs page (http://www.syapse.com/jobs.php#j4) and contact me (tony at syapse.com). cheers Tony -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
