Tutorial Day One, Sprint Day Two

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

One of the great things we have going with TurboGears is that the framework itself takes so little time to learn, that you can literally contribute on day two without much in the way of guidance.  If you have web skills at all, you can be providing a positive input into the design and execution of TurboGears in a short time, say, 6 hours.

I’m returning from Pycon tomorrow, and I’ll give a dump of that on Monday, but for now I need to write to promote my tutorial in Montreal.  The conference has decided to provide the tutorial FREE (as in beer) to any Montréal-Python guy who goes to the conference, just use this link:http://confoo.ca/pymontreal.

Oh, and I am told that Yannick will be providing some homebrew for thoseof us who are sprinting, regardless of whether we attend the conference.

Day “2” sprint will be more like day 5, as the ConFoo.ca conference sits squarely in the middle, but in any event here is the announcement.

TurboGears has been confirmed for May 15 and 16 in Washington DC.  Alex Clark has been helping me organize the event at Radio Free Asia.  Please join us for a full-day TurboGears tutorial.  We can explore topics like the TurboGears Admin, CRUD interface, even our Mongo Support.  2.1 will be out by then since we are nearing our second beta release.

Please spread the word about these important events, and I hope to see you all soon!
