Now That's What I Call Education!

I had the opportunity this past weekend to participate in an inspiring educational experience. Djentle Django, a two day workshop introducing the Django web framework, was organized by the Northern Virginia Python Users Group and DC PyLadies and hosted at the Alexandria campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

There were 24 seats available for the two day, 12 hour workshop, and all available seats filled up.  The 24 students were led step-by-step through a beginner friendly (truly "djentle" ;-) introduction to this complex topic by 6 web development professionals, each volunteering their time to help share their knowledge in the true spirit of free software and free knowledge.
