Love it but my os is Windows and I don't know command line well enough. A windows version would be awesome but this is great!

Anyone know which Editor he is using in these screencasts? Great video too!!


49. anonymous Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:44

I like your style for introducing a subject, but please hold back with gory details


48. anonymous Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:48

Excellent!!!! Thanks very much!!!!!


47. anonymous Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:28

sounds good so far. this request popped up after ii paused, so I haven't seen 100% yet.


46. anonymous Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:20

Wow, how exciting. I'm 68 years old and my 24 year old mentor has me on 2 books about Python and 2 about DJango. What a hoot but what a learning curve. After I was retired several years I taught myself how to write VB 6 programs and made a suite of 5 programs that support a local race using remote data entry stations and packet radio for the interconnects. Then my young Buddy Adam comes onto the scene and brings my world into the next generation. Way Cool. Anyhow, back to your video but I will have to rewind and view it more than a few times. Thanks for all your work and effort to spread the word. It's great

So I'll look at the rest of your screencasts. ;)

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for ericflo

Django From the Ground Up: Episode 2

Very helpful and informative. Looks like I'm going to need to do some more docs research before moving on

If I understand correctly, for creating a datetime instance you could have used

start = datetime(now.year,now.month,now.day)

and the time would default to 0's. Instead of using the datetime.min object

I'm also a little confused as to why the start and end time needs to be in the model when this info could be inferred. Performance reasons?

Thanks again! Learning lots :)
