SPA2008 - day 1
I’m at SPA2008, the BCS conference for Software Practice Advancement - feeling quite tired after having led a 6-hour introductory tutorial on Python and Django.
I think it went reasonably well, although we were very pushed for time towards the end. Cutting out one of the exercises helped, but the final group exercise on Django was still somewhat rushed. I reckon we got far enough to convey the flavour of Django development, at least.
I might offer a BoF session on Django as a follow-up, to discuss some of the things that were omitted from the tutorial and to give other delegates an opportunity to learn about the best Python web development framework…
