<p>Just finished a workshop related lunch with <a class="reference external" href="http://www.mattmakai.com/">Matt Makai</a>. Things are looking
up and our plan is solid. We will have some pretty sleek presentations
for our information as well. We discussed several things, most notably:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Static sites</li>
<li>Github pages</li>
<li>Common pitfalls of programming tutorials</li>
</ol>
<p>Dgentle Django's huge traction is getting us tens of views every single day,
so we need to make sure that the site is responsive. Item #1 leads to #2,
which is obviously the reason I am writing all this up. I just had to try out
Github pages. I am very pleased. I would like some ideas on themes for pelican,
but that will come soon enough.</p>
<p>So on to the real meat, #3. We plan on starting out simple. The what and
why of web frameworks in general. This is necessary because Django is a
pretty large undertaking for a simple website. So you need to know why you
would choose Djhango in the first place. Knowing why will make all the
abstractions (MVC) make sense, instead of seeming like a hurdle.</p>
<p>So, Matt and I were discussing the two types of programming instruction:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>How install X and create a "Hello World" app</li>
<li>Theory behind distributed credit card chargebacks when your backup ESB is on the fritz.</li>
</ul>
<p>There is a little bit of knowledge inbetween those two situations that is
rarely discussed. But the vast majority of people fall in between those two
scenarios. How do you reach them?</p>
<p>So. I don't know. But, I figure it's a good enough question to justify
throwing together a Github Pages account with a little bit of content.</p>
