## My Talk


The site is at:
http://cohpy.o1.gondor.io

You have to be an administrator to add books, so if you want to do that, let
me know and I'll up your privleges.

This is pretty close to markdown, so it might look better if you paste it
into a markdown viewer like http://www.raindance.co.nz/markdown/demo.lsd


The code is at:

http://github.com/issackelly/cohpy2011


To build the project:

* A] Have Python

* B] have virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper

* C] mkvirtualenv cohpy

* D] git clone http://github.com/issackelly/cohpy2011.git

* E] cd cohpy/cohpy_project

* F] pip install -r requirements/project.txt

* G] createdb cohpy # postgres
* OR

* G] touch local_settings.py # copy DATABASES to local_settings.py

* * change postgres_psycopg2 to sqlite3

* * change name to dev.db

* H] python manage.py upgradedb --execute # This is nashvegas, what my
deployment environment uses for migrations

* OR #   normal (no migration framework would be)

* H] python manage.py syncdb --noinput

* OR # South -- my current preferred way to migrate

* H] python manage.py syncdb --noinput && python manage.py migrate

* I] python manage.py createsuperuser (makes your first user..)

* J] python manage.py runserver

The Django Pony

---------------


The Django Pony is the unofficial mascot.  Some people think it's too silly
to be proper.  Those people don't have souls.

For a language named after a very silly acting group, a web app framework
built on top of it can have a silly mascot.

* Tastypie - api creation

* Haystack

* django-pagination - very easy pagination

* django-filter - nice filter library for lists of objects

* Pinax

* Taggit - tagging library

* django-uni-form - I have a fork of this that works with the fieldsets from
django-form-utils listed below... I use my own fork of this project

* django-basic-apps - this is where I got the library from

* django-model-utils and django-form-utils - Great projects for some small,
but often-used use cases.

* easy-thumbnails -- this is a fork of sorl.thumbnail, the most recent one
is different than the one I started with, I happen to like easy-thumbnails
more, and it has the same API.

* django-servee - wysiwyg editing of your models.  the documentation is
currently way too sparce for this, but suffice it to say, I'm working on
that.
