Intro to Django Workshop, Hackathon (July 23 in LA)

By Esther Nam (Co-Organizer, PyLadies)
The Los Angeles PyLadies are continuing their summer series of hackathons with a Django-themed day sponsored by Mahalo, in partnership with the LA Django Meetup Group.

The Django web framework is a great way to learn Python while quickly building and deploying a simple and useful web application or two, which is why beginners are highly encouraged to attend.

Participants will begin by going through the Django Tutorial under the
expert tutelage of PyLadies developers. In the afternoon, attendees are encouraged to hack away on their own projects.

As at the previous hackathon in Hollywood, mentors will be available throughout the day to help people on their individual projects and to answer any questions or resolve issues. There will also be a social hour following the event, open to the whole Python community and its extended circles.

Register here for this low-cost Django workshop — includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.
