Django is a web framework designed to help you build complex web applications simply and quickly. It's written in the Python programming language. Django can do some very complex things with less code and a simpler execution than you'd expect. This tutorial breaks down how to start working with Django.

Perhaps the best part about Django is its outstanding documentation. Unlike many open source projects, Django has very thorough and readable docs available online. If you have any problems with our tutorials, head over to the Django site for…

It is easy to use Google App Engine as your own private Content Delivery Network (CDN), just like Akamai but for free! Just follow these 10 easy steps to set up what you need and get going.

I don’t think it’s a good candidate for CDN, not so much because of the EULA, but because it’s really meant for applications, and not for storage, (like S3 *is*, I’m betting google has something under…

A good list of links !

I spent a few hours this morning reading through a number of these links. Thank you very much for the time and effort spent gathering them! Through reading the entry I noticed a little textual error. The “7 Applications to Make Working…

Firefox has really come a long way and has already revolutionized the way people browse the web. Let’s look ahead and analyze the potential impact of this forthcoming mega release.

@PaulThanks for dropping by. That's true. People will have to wait, but I know it won't be that long as a lot of developers will cope up with the new version. Anyway, it's possible to install both FF2 and FF3 for those who really need…

Not a lot of people know this, but a lot of the extensions available through Firefox are not free/open source software at all. One example is the StumbleUpon Extension. If you want the most free software computer possible, look up the licences of your extensions.

I don't understand why they do not use a free license really. Okay, I sometimes can see why a proprietary license would feel more palatable for the people in charge (I disagree with the reasoning but I can see how they're thinking)…

Googles third developer conference, and the first to be called Google I/O, kicks off on Wednesday at the Moscone Center in San Francisco with a keynote presentation by Vic Gundotra, Googles VP of Engineering.

the only thing that keeps me from making the move to google app engine is the lack of support for third party open source tools like ffmpeg and imagemagick. Libraries written in python are afaik the only libs one can use. Of course one can still…

At tomorrow's Google I/O conference, the App Engine team will be making a number of announcements.

While all of this is great progress, we're sure that many will be disappointed that App Engine is still limited to Python Apps. Shortly after launching Google App Engine, we created an interactive game that asked you to both predict what…

In this article, I'll show you how to write a simple Todo list with Python using web.py.

Aside from the exposure of POST and GET, this controller is pretty basic. It has the CRUD methods that we've all come to know and love. Notice that the templates can be nested. For example, within the index class, we're sending the…

Want to write shorter, cleaner code? Need to fit as much as you can in one expression? Prefer a quick dose of hacks to spending the rest of your life reading the docs? This article will show you how.
Seriously, there's tons of good stuff here.

In Python, 'and' and 'or' are complex creatures. and-ing two expressions together doesn't just return True if both are true and False if both are false. Instead, 'and' returns the first false value, or the last…

Google has opened up their infrastructure to the masses in the form of a Python API. In this article, we are going to “crib” some of the documentation for Google App Engine, and then proceed to actually build an application using the SDK.

Second, this is more condensed, pragmatic version of a tutorial than you will find at the official Google App Engine Website. You might want to refer to that link, again in the references section, if you want to refer to it for some of the items…

Josh Stewart loves MythTV — so much so that he is building his own front-end app for it as a drop-in replacement for MythTV’s default. The replacement is called Gloss, and although it isn’t ready for prime time yet (no pun intended), its OpenGL effects and GStreamer bindings show plenty of promise.

Gloss is almost exclusively a one-developer project for right now, but Stewart hopes that will change. "Anyone with good general Python skills can help. A general understanding (or better) in GTK/GObject would go a long way to…

How to get Vim setup to be a powerful IDE for python, Including code completion, call tips, integration with pydoc, and debugging.

Vim already has built in syntax highlighting for python but I have a small tweak to vim to give you notifications of small syntax errors like forgetting a colon after a for loop. Create a file called ~/.vim/syntax/python.vim and add the following…

A Python assembler/disassembler/bytecode-compiler written in Python.

The final meta-opcode is “stack”. The stack opcode takes an integer as an argument and indicates the required stack size for the generated code object. If you LOAD_CONST 4 items, then your stack size needs to be at least 4….

What is your TO-LEARN list for this year?

I applaud the optimism and effort you plan to put on learning that list - but it looks a bit long to be completed in one year.Of course dedication to it will bring you further, and it depends on what else you have going on in your life.One…
