This months event is 'Workshops'. We have lined up workshop sessions on six topics, including:

Jamie Curle -- A Tourist's Guide to Django

Jamie Curle (c&c Design/Obscure Metaphor) gives a guided tour through the Django framework as if it were a busy Fair Ground full of HTTP Requests & Responses having a great time on Django's many fun rides. Along the way we'll ride on attractions as URL Dispatcher, The ORM, Forms, The infamous Admin, Caching, Testing and more. We'll also follow the lifecyle of an HTTP request & watch how Django uses it to give birth to an HTTP response.

Michael Peacock -- Vagrant: virtualising your development environment

Web developers use virtual environments every day with their web applications. From EC2 and Rackspace Cloud to specialized solutions such as EngineYard and Heroku, virtualization is the tool of choice for easy deployment and infrastructure management. Vagrant aims to take those very same principles and put them to work in the heart of the application lifecycle. By providing easy to configure, lightweight, reproducible, and portable virtual machines targeted at development environments, Vagrant helps maximize your productivity and flexibility.

There are still a few tickets available. If you would like to attend please register here:
