Hello

I am currently working on putting together a project plan (for my grad project) to create training on how to use web 2.0 fraemworks (specifically Django). Does anyone think there is a need for such training? The training would include video and consist of interactive modules. The training would be hosted on the net.

I got the idea from the podcast and thought it might make a good grad school project (I will be getting my masters in "Instructional Technology").

Any feedback would gladly be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

Great idea.

Rob,

The chap who runs the Turbogears project sells a training DVD full of about 5 hours worth of material. He describes it as a 'pair-programming' kind of experience, which I imagine is a great way for a programmer to pick up a new language or tool set.

I haven't bought it yet, and I'm actually undecided on whether I will get it (I find the American accent and his pauses with his "um"s and "so.."s a bit distracting) but I think for you it'd be well worth the $30 and might give you some good ideas.

You can see his 20 minute wiki video on the turboears homepage to get an idea.

Glad to read such a nice piece of information. http://www.google.com

Being an active Ruby programmer I was very happy with this podcast. I am _so_ glad we avoid the language-war nonsense, but instead meet, talk and share ideas. For my point of view I regard Python and Django as friends of Ruby and Rails. We sometimes disagree, but we're still friends. My non-friends are in the static community, but that's a whole other story.

Congrats with a nice framework, I especially like your internationalization, that's a winner.
