This is a 4 parts tutorial that walks you through how to create a flashcard
game using Django tutorial + javascript/jquery.
- Part 1<http://pythonweekly.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e2e180baf855ac797ef407fc7&id=6a791986c7&e=ba2536fe73>-
This introductory part does the setup of wordconfuse game and presents
a
short introduction to Django.

In this part we will look at the Django model and view definitions as
well
as the architecture of the game.
- Part 3<http://pythonweekly.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e2e180baf855ac797ef407fc7&id=0e0b81c14f&e=ba2536fe73>-
Here we start looking at the presentation layer including how Django
templates are used to generate dynamic HTML and CSS.

Extending Python with C - Using OpenCV on the
web<http://pythonweekly.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e2e180baf855ac797ef407fc7&id=85d60e9a3b&e=ba2536fe73>

WSGI-compliant web framework to test your Python 2.7 project before you
deploy it on prodection server.
