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. -

Great presentation. Ara's presentation was planned, informative and comprehensive, covering a wide spectrum of available Django caching options.— James O

Great meetup. It made me realize that we don't do testing as much as we should. So thanks for organizing this.
-
Behavior Driven Development is a very sound approach to developing and testing production systems. But requires a certain maturity of the product and the team to reap its benefits. It would be a bit of an overkill for rapid prototypes. -
Great into to a new way of testing -
Informative and well presented. Good follow-up discussion.

The talk was good, it covered the basic and I believe I could get started with Lettuce & Splinter with the information presented last night. I'd have given the last star if the speaker had spent more time in code and examples -- more Terminal, less Keynote -- and if Splinter had been covered a bit more. All in all, a good talk, and well worth my time. Thanks! -
It was awesome to see the author, Gabriel, there as well. Highly interesting and relevant talk, thanks Adam! -
Awesome. I had gotten very interested in Lettuce lately after reading about Cucumber and wishing there was such a tool for Python. I didn't know about Splinter, but definitely had an "ah-hah" moment halfway through when I realized how much potentially more useful it could make Lettuce. Great folks and an interesting talk. It was awesome that they were able to get Gabriel (the author of Lettuce) to attend! -
