I think that went well
I went to the London Python meeting tonight, and listened to Jacob Kaplan-Moss of Django talk about where django came from and why it’s so damn cool.
I also gave a lightning talk about Google App Engine, for which I was very nervous. For some reason I assumed that everyone in the room would have already downloaded and tried it, and would know more about it than me. Actually It loked like most people knew of it but hadn’t played with it yet.
I’ll upload the slides and source code from the lightning talk tomorrow.
Things to remember next time:
- 5 minutes isn’t very long, only 300 seconds in fact…
- Google App Engine is big!
- Showing people code in diff files in Vim is probably not the best demonstration!
There was a suggestion that I should put together a talk for Pycon UK about AppEngine, which I feel very underqualified to do, but would be a lot of fun so I’ll think about it.
