FYI in case you are planning to travel to see the eclipse:

The September meeting will be the beginning of a several month long project
- building and hosting a django web site.  The 2nd step will be to add a
store, and possibly other web apps.  This will be a collaborative project
so everyone can contribute.

More details coming...

I'd be cool to figure out how to plot the path of the eclipse on a map.

- TBH, if I was to teach django today, I'd start with models, fixtures, and
tests.

django-debug-toolbar

https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar

- ddt is really helpful. It's not a replacement for tests.

cookiecutter (project templates)

https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/

- Matches "Two Scoops of Django"
-
https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/blob/master/README.rst#articles

https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html#cookiecutter-specials

https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html#python-django

Starting with a cookiecutter saves hours of work.
You can figure out how it all works later.
