[portland] This Friday night, 8/31, 7:00pm: hacking for good at PIE

[Michelle Rowley]

Django makes it easy to have a real, functional website while isolating
what we'd actually be doing with the newbies into a view. They could see
their work in the ultimate form that they might want to learn to execute in
the future but only have to learn a little bit about it at first.

Does that make sense? Django would be the scaffolding within which we could
see the actual result of using one of these APIs (Rdio, EchoNest, Spotify,
etc), as opposed to just making a script that spit back results in text. A
new programmer can't get as much context of what that's actually useful
for, whereas seeing a website with functionality makes it obvious.
