[CentralOH] October Talk Notes

[Eric Floehr]

All,

Thanks for a great meeting last week!  I hope everyone enjoyed the pizza,
donated by Intellovations.  We received $34 total in the tip jar, which will
be used to fund a future Central Ohio Python outing or go to some other
worthy venture (ideas welcome).  Thanks to all who donated!

The slides to my presentation are up:
http://www.slideshare.net/efloehr/building-a-personal-or-small-business-website-with-django

The main links are:

http://www.djangoproject.com/
Django is the Python web application framework used for this presentation

http://virtualenv.openplans.org/
Virtualenv is used to manage Python packages and create isolated package
environments so dependencies and versions can be precisely managed.

http://pip.openplans.org/
PIP is the successor to easy_install and acts like a yum or aptitude for
Python.  It can even install from repositories via URLs (including central
repos like github and bitbucket)

http://djangopackages.com/
Django Packages is a comprehensive site listing many of the plug-ins,
applications, and other tools for use with Django

http://bitbucket.org/stephenmcd/mezzanine/src
Mezzanine, the blog/cms framework built on Django that is the foundation of
the talk's project

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-debug-toolbar
Django debug toolbar provides a side panel that allows you to see the SQL
queries run, page generation stats, context, etc. of the rendered page.

http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/
Django command extensions are very useful extensions to the Django
management commands, including creating dot files of your models and an
in-browser command prompt for debugging (via werkzeug).

http://south.aeracode.org/
South provides more advanced schema migration capability than is provided
internally by Django via syncdb.


Cheers,
Eric
