[SGVLUG] TOPIC: Python Web Frameworks

[Braddock Gaskill]

A video of my presentation on Python Web Frameworks from last night is now
available:

412 MB.  I'm not sure the video format is appropriate - vlc handles it but
it will handle any old thing.  If anyone has trouble or recommends a
different format let me know and I'll handbrake it differently.

Thanks to everyone who came to listen.

> TOPIC: "Python Web Frameworks - Django and Pylons"
> PRESENTER:  Braddock Gaskill <braddock at braddock.com>
>
> ABSTRACT:  
> 
> The two dominant python-based web frameworks are Django and Pylons.  
> They can be used to deploy web applications such as news sites, online 
> ticket tracking systems, or wikis.  An overview and comparison of 
> Django and the recently reinvented Pylons Project will be presented. 
> 
> Individual dependencies of the Pylons Project will be described
> including the Pyramid WSGI engine, the SQLAlchemy database Object 
> Relational Mapper (ORM), and the Mako HTML template generator.  
> 
> A very simple blog engine will be implemented as an instructive
> example.
