DjangoCon first day

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I’m attending to DjangoCon from São Paulo Google’s Office.

Some notes on the first day of event:

  • I expected more news from GvR on his talk about GAE (nothing really new).
  • David Cramer talk about High Performance was kinda heavy (but good things learned)
  • The history behind Django is hilarious (State of Django by Jacob and Adrian)
  • It seems Django is getting bigger (contributors) and better (features). Good!
  • Really good talk by Malcolm Tredinnick about the Django ORM
  • GeoDjango seems very interesting, but it’s not for me (at least now…)
  • Cal Henderson made good “feature requests” and “bug reports” live, the unreadable SQL generated by Django scares me a bit… but not that much

In general it was great. I can’t wait for the lighting talks tomorrow (probably the best moment on any Python conference :-) ).

Oh, the snacks @ Google (Sao Paulo) are awesome!
