Django From the Ground Up: Episode 9

with host Eric Florenzano

In this episode, we use the techniques that we have learned in creating our events app to continue building out the social networking aspects of the site. We're able to use the technique of passing in extra parameters to a view via the url configuration to re-use one function to serve three separate slices of data. I think that this is a very powerful idiom that Django provides. Check out the episode to see how it's done!

    Great tempo!

    Wouldn't it be more easy for your work flow to use VIM. Then you can use :split and do all sorts of things without leaving your shell. less windows to switch. I find it less confusing. For example I put all the common things I need in a snippet and then simple type "\ssp view" and pronto the common thing I need are there. I don't know if Text mate has these handy tools.

    Anyhow great episode I'm learning a bit more.

    Of course it's possible to speed up with TextMate (Snippets, Macros, Commands), but then some people could not follow along. And you heard Eric: "Writing and speaking at the same time is pretty difficult" ;)

    nono: I've tried to learn VIM, I really have, but every time I feel like it ends up getting in my way more than helping :(
