In which I let readers — particularly RSS readers — know about the new podcast “conversations” here at jeffcroft.com
Kevin had me on for one of his patented “callcasts” yesterday, and has posted the result today. We talked about Django, Blue Flavor, new-fangled CSS properties, the great experimental web design of the late ‘90s, and more. It’s a short, laid-back conversation about a lot of different things, and it was definitely fun to do. Check it out! Visit site »
On this week’s podcast, Michael Trier and Brian Rosner talk a bit about my recent blog post, Top ten things that suck about Django, revisited. Their guests for the week are the developers of the popular Django e-commerce solution Satchmo, so they participate in the discussion, as well. I was happy to find that they considered the post a healthy discussion and found some value in it. The guys talk about several things mentioned in the post, including django.contrib.search, bulk delete in the admin interface, and the Python/Django install process. It's a great listen, and not just for the part about my post. In general, if you're not already listening to This Week in Django, you should be. These guys are doing a really, really great job.

In which I detail four events I’ll be speaking at this Fall.
I’ll be heading over to London, my favorite city in the world (so far, anyway), to give a full-day workshop on building a custom CMS using Django. The workshop is being put on my the awesome folks at Carsonified, and you can register right now, if you like! Having been to several Carsonified events, I can say with a great deal of certainty that no one out there runs conferences and workshops more smoothly than this crew. Should be a great day.
I will definitely blog at more length about this event in the near future, but for now, head over to the Carson Workshops site and check it out. Visit site »
