Re: DjangoCon Philly July 17-22. See you there?...

Python programmers, Consultants and Job Seekers,

Today's the last day of early bird pricing for DjangoCon, the
world-wide Django conference, which is in Philly this year!

With the $50 early-bird discount, this 6-day event costs only
$295 (individual), $495 (corporate), with a student/diversity
price of only $195. For those of us who are local, with no
airfare or hotel costs, that's dirt cheap.

It's a great place to dive deep into the Web framework that you've
come to know and love, or to get a jumpstart on a new technology
that you've been dying to learn.

I've been using Python/Django for nearly 4 years. I'm a huge fan.

Details:
- Sun July 17 - Fri July 22
- Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
3620 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104
- $295 for all 6 days ($195 for students)

Python programmers, Consultants and Job Seekers,

DjangoCon, the world-wide Django conference, is in Philly this year!

It's a great place to dive deep into the Web framework that you've
come to know and love, or to get a jumpstart on a new technology
that you've been dying to learn.

I've been using Python/Django for nearly 4 years. I'm a huge fan.

Details:
- Sun July 17 - Fri July 22
- Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
3620 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104

Register now to attend.

Or sign up to be a speaker and attend for free. There's a team
of speaker mentors if you have good info to share but are not
comfortable speaking to a large crowd. They can help you with
proposing, preparing and presenting your talk.

Or sign up as a volunteer like me to:
- Review talks and tutorials
- Spread the word
- Work on the website
- Run sessions, helping the speaker and attendees with logistics
- Man the registration desk
- Stuff swag bags

For those of you new to Django, here's what I like about it:
- MVC Framework (models, templates, views)
- ORM, DB migrations, syncdb, inspectdb
- Makes simple things easy, and complex things possible
- Automatic data validation
- Automated regression tests
- Middleware
- VERY friendly and helpful user community

See you at DjangoCon?
