A hands-on workshop for Python/Django developers who would like to contribute
more to the projects they use, but need more grounding in some of the tools
required.
What's in it for you
====================
As well as helping to put you in a position to commit successfully to
collaborative projects, the workshop's emphasis on using virtualenv/pip and
git will help you manage your own work in a more streamlined and efficient
way.
The automate testing tutorial - the most substantial component of the workshop
- will help you develop your software faster, better and more easily.
What we'll cover
================
The workshop will take participants through the complete cycle of identifying
a simple issue in a Django or Python project, writing a patch with tests and
documentation, and submitting it.
The workshop will take you through the use of:
* virtualenv and pip
* git (and GitHub)
* running and writing tests for Python applications
* writing and building documentation using Sphinx
* submitting a pull request
A workbook and reference guide will be provided to support the workshop.
What you need to know
=====================
The workshop is open to anyone, but places will be limited.
Date: a weekday morning or afternoon in February or March 2012
Venue: Cardiff University
Attendance fee: none
Let me know if you'd like to attend!
