Newbie Nugget: Debugging with PDB by Simeon Franklin ..... 7:45 PM to 8:40 PM (or so) ................ * Django: Lessons Learned in the startup world by Barnaby Bienkowski This talk starts with a high level overview of Django (a python web framework) and where it is used in the startup world then dives into an intermediate overview of which plugins and functionality to use when and where, for example, Pinax and Geodjango. * Pinax, an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework, integrates reusable Django apps to provide features that many sites have in common, including social networking features with openID support * GeoDjango, a geographic web framework, lets you build GIS web applications and harness the power of spatially enabled data: "Bye bye MySQL, Hello PostGIS." Finally, a look at some python code demonstrates some really cool stuff. "There will be something for everyone here, so bring your friends." Barnaby Bienkowski is expert on early-stage software product development: "My primary objective is to develop software that addresses real requirements for real people. I bring to the table practical knowledge about software technology and a passion for filling unmet needs in the market, and I do so in ways that people find accessible and helpful." His current startup is Rubber Can, which provides a Reverse Auction where mechanics bid on your repair work. http://www.rubbercan.com/ barnaby at rubbercan.com Related Links http://pinaxproject.com/ http://geodjango.org/ http://www.gov2summit.com/gov2010 http://sunlightfoundation.com/ (Making Government Transparent and Accountable) ..... 8:50 PM to 9:30 PM ................
