I am at PyCon in Atlanta. Greetings to all of you. The web2py tutorial
went very well (at least from my prospective) there were about 18 in
the room which is more than I was told would attend.

If you are in Atlanta, see you in the lobby at 6pm and we go out for
dinner.

I think it went very well from the audience perspective as well. Massimo's computer was set on Chicago time (Atlanta is an hour later), so he accidentally gave us our break an hour late -- but no one seemed to notice or care because Massimo's tour de force of web2py's capabilities was so engaging. Most attendees were relatively new to web2py, so Massimo had to spend some extra time on the basics, but folks seemed quite impressed with what they saw (looks like a couple of them sent out some tweets during the tutorial). Massimo had a prepared script, but as questions came up, he quickly whipped up some cool examples on the fly as well (e.g., demonstrating web services). Near the end, Massimo said, "Now let's do something more complex -- we've got 20 minutes left, so let's build a Facebook clone." The audience thought he was joking a chuckled, but sure enough, 20 minutes later we had a working Facebook clone created from scratch (friend relationships and wall postings). Although it ended right in the middle of lunch hour, most folks stayed an extra 20 minutes or so for some Q&A (including more impromptu coding examples by Massimo). A number of folks stayed even later to chat with Massimo. Overall, I think it was very successful. We even had Guido van Rossum drop in for a good chunk of the tutorial.

The second part was not recorded because I forgot to press the button
[record] after the break and because the people who paid to attend
deserve some exclusivity.
Anyway, the second part included similar content as http://vimeo.com/20760298
and this http://vimeo.com/20768689 (although we did not build an
online store but a facebook clone)
