Slides from “Django Master Class” at OSCON

At OSCON 2007 Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Simon Willison, and Jeremy Dunck held a Django Master Class. Jacob just posted the slides on the web, and it contains a few goodies, like:

• testing strategies
• testing support in Django
• dumpdata
• templatetags introduction
• custom model fields
• OpenID (which seems to be on Simon’s mind a lot lately)
• a cool example using jQuery to do Ajax-style client-side form validation based on conditions set in the Django model(!)
• deployment options for high-performance sites
• Geo Django + PostGIS for geo-coordinate manipulation
