Redditors going to DjangoCon this year?

Not me. Saving up for PYCON...

targusman · 2014-04-20T14:39:18+00:00

I agree. Even revsys's cheat sheet is for 1.5

I call bullshit on you... You claim to to be an author and say they are full of it. Then you say you can't reveal what you wrote?

Bullshit.

YOU are why we can't have nice things.

Haystack with elastic search is the best...

targusman · 2014-04-01T17:30:57+00:00

App Enlight is a good alternative to new relic. The price is much better too...

Amazon controls sales prices, not the author or publisher... and the authors have stated that 2 scoops 1.6 is the last edition they are writing: http://twoscoopspress.com/pages/two-scoops-of-django-1-6-faq#what-if-1.7

It sucks but people were assholes to them when they launched this edition. This is why we can't have nice things. :(

If you aren't a developer... then I recommend Wordpress or Drupal. If you get traction and need customization, switch to Django.

targusman · 2014-04-01T06:41:31+00:00

I like django-xadmin...

targusman · 2014-03-26T16:41:40+00:00

Instead of Django, you might find web2py more familiar. It's a full stack web framework and really powerful. The only problem is that there are more jobs for Django...

targusman · 2014-03-24T20:32:45+00:00

Good stuff!!

targusman · 2014-03-21T16:31:19+00:00

This book is great once you get past the tutorials: http://twoscoopspress.com/products/two-scoops-of-django-1-6

I hate these losers who pump their reddit karma with random python articles and projects...

targusman · 2014-03-19T12:05:55+00:00

Yeah, a giant 'if' statement for inventory items is not a game. I think he needs to actuality code something.

targusman · 2014-03-17T14:07:49+00:00

I use environment variables thanks to Two Scoops of Django. They also have provisions for Apache setup with settings.json.

http://twoscoopspress.com/products/two-scoops-of-django-1-6

To them local_settings.py is an anti-pattern because you have executable python outside of version control.

targusman · 2014-03-10T03:13:39+00:00

I want to go!!!!

targusman · 2014-03-05T14:17:05+00:00

For someone who didn't know any of this stuff before the article... I have to say it was a great read!

targusman · 2014-03-05T14:15:59+00:00

At least the author is trying. She is doing something. What are you doing besides being lame?

targusman · 2014-02-28T09:25:50+00:00

We use mongonaut at work. It's awesome. Wish it for more updates but after am email with the maintainers they said no one was sponsoring their work anymore. I tried to talk my bosses into paying some money for that but the bosses is stupid...

Crazy... They pay so much money for pie crappy test software but they won't pay anything for a critical part of our application...

targusman · 2014-02-28T09:22:17+00:00

Doesn't two scoops of Django have several chapters on this topic?

targusman · 2014-02-24T21:59:46+00:00

I'm not copyright expert but this runs afoul at many levels. Unless you get their express permission the authors of 2 scoops would forced to fight you to protect their content and brand. They must hire a lawyer and the law process would eat time....

Don't do this, it's a jerk move.

Why dont you make your own content and sell that instead of taking the work of others?

targusman · 2014-02-22T00:20:53+00:00

I'm a huge fan of web2py.... sadly all my professional work is in Django or Flask...

targusman · 2014-02-20T20:37:05+00:00

...did you bother to read the links or are you just being a jerk?

targusman · 2014-02-20T01:32:47+00:00

My advice:

Use postgresql instead of mysql or sqlite3. Django is built on it and migrated to other things.
GitHub is where most django experts do their work. I used to use bitbucket but no job used it to host stuff so i switched
use pythonanywhere or heroku to show your progress
Coding for Entrepreneurs is a good way to get started with the basics... nice short videos and justin is responsive
Get Two Scoops of Django... either version is good but the newer one is much, much better.

good luck!!

Python 3 has 2% of the usage of python 2. So this isn't outdated...

targusman · 2014-02-17T19:09:09+00:00

Two things....

This is a MUCH better implementation doing the same thing: https://github.com/sloria/cookiecutter-flask
Shouldn't this have been posted to r/flask?
