Great - ended up networking more than working - which isn't a bad thing. Got some great Python help and some Django help but I need to focus more on Django! -
Good times, some people being productive and coding away, others talking about coding. GetGlue brought some food. There are some new folks and repeat attendees. It's a great way to meet and learn. -
Great networking. I come in by train, so it was quiet a long subway ride from Grand Central to the venue. But it was worth it. -

It was really neat. Glad I came because I had a similar problem and I am going to use some of the tools mentioned in the talk. -

Not as good as some past Django meetups I've been to. The good: Great venue. Yipit's offices are large, bright, had plenty of seating and a convenient location Generous food and drinks Large crowd. Good for networking. (applies to all of these meetups) The bad: The talk spent maybe 5-10 minutes in total on things even remotely related to Django. There was little talk about using different aspects of Django. Most of the time was focused on scaling and infrastructure, which while important, weren't even addressed in a Django-specific way. This talk could have been a decent talk for any other meetup The ugly: One very loudspoken gentleman, who perhaps really enjoyed hearing his own voice, spent 20 minutes right at the beginning questioning the speaker on the product features of ChartBeat, and how they might be used by customers. While this would make for great hallway conversation, it was completely irrelevant to the talk. Thankfully, he was called out for it eventually -
Great speaker and talk. Beer and Pizza from Yipit were also great -
Nice presentation. Good speaker. -
Really appreciate Allan sharing how Chartbeat is put together. -

Very useful. A good presentation of a complicated problem space. -
Good presentation, pizza and beer == perfect -
Top notch talk by Timothy Fitz from Canvas on the real time web and the reality of getting such functionality out of a site. -
A very practical overview! -
I enjoyed the presentation and meeting other Python enthusiasts. I have only attended two meetings and both had interesting content but neither were really Python or Django centric which is OK. Both presentations were surveys of technology stacks without any details. It would benefit me, and probably others, to have a presentation that discusses details of how a specific problem is solved using Python or Django. I would like to see a coding or design example. -

I got a few good ideas from the speaker. Very worthwhile. I would have preferred a little more detail on some of the solutions mentioned.
-
Great talk and locale. Thank you!
-
Topics tonight were unfamiliar to me since I work in a very low traffic website environment. That being said, its good to begin the hear what problems and solutions happen in the very high traffic world -
James did a great job walking us through concepts involved in scaling a large site. It was applicable not just to Django but to any large infrastructure.

Great atmosphere for the Django newbie. Great help from Sean as well as other Django vets, also a good collaborative environment for working out design ideas. More like this please! -
good time and rather productive - or so i felt. definitely should do again, and would go so far as to propose it be a monthly thing regardless of the usual presentation meetup.— zach

I am just a beginner, but aspire to work more with Django. I would love it if there were frequent workshop meetups like this one. -
Sean is really helpful, last night there were plenty of new faces, and sometimes the hardest step is getting started. It was nice that Sean worked the room and helped everybody - it's a really nice gesture on his part— Patrick

It was really great - I got help from the organizer as well as some folks at my table and was able to get through the exercises at a good rate

Everyone was nice, space was great, but presentation lacked meaningful depth on how to accomplish continuous deployment, much less anything specific regarding Django. -
Good meetup but the construction workers really ruined it for me. -
It confirmed thoughts I had on the viability of continuous deployment. Thanks for the pizza and soda! Even before the jack-hammer started, it was hard to hear the speaker. I have found this to be the case most of the time at this venue. -
