Finding a Django expert to review my code

[Rex]

I just created my first Django site (as an academic research project).
Now that it is done, I would like to get feedback on my code from a
Django expert so that I can learn where I can improve as a Django dev.
How can I find someone to spend 1 or 2 hours reviewing my code with
me? I found a few employment posting websites, but they seemed more
geared toward posting jobs or large freelance projects, not something
small like this.

Thanks,

Rex

Good evening Rex,

I'm a beginner to Python and Django and I've found running my scripts
through PyLint (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylint) to be very worth
while.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Rex,

I am not a django expert (in fact I have just started working with Django about a month back), but I have been in software development for a while.

Remote code review sounds like an interesting exercise. I will be glad to help you with the review, but with no prior promises on the outcome :-) I am hoping to share what I know and also learn some new things myself.

I'd probably try emailing some of the top Django developers. This seems like it would be a buyer's market, due to the job being short and fun for a dedicated Django dev. Don't hire a noob like me. ;)

You might try www.rentacoder.com - they have a category for 'personal
project/homework help' which might be appropriate. Or, if you need
someone local to sit down with you, try http://djangopeople.net/.

I'll suggest you something different. Put your code in a public
accesible site, and make this open and collaborative. Let all of us
tell you wath we think about the code, and coordinate some way to rank
que suggestions, for example we can vote it, or argument why, etc. You
can get all out collective intelligence in this way, and all of us
could learn for this. Then, use your budget to support this, or donate
it to Django Project, or somoething. I think this is much more
interesting in an academic way, and for the community.

What do you think?


Open greetings ;-)

May be your budget can be a prize for the best suggestions/revisors,
and the like.

Another approach: if you don't have it yet, start by writing tests,
targeting a coverage of your code greater than 95%.

Tests are very useful for a lot of reasons, specially to ease the
evolution of your code... And in your situation, writing the tests
will lead you to review your code by yourself!

Hope it helps,

Michel
