Master the Python, Django! At Django Bootcamp in Europe, June 22-26, 2009

Big Nerd Ranch Europe, premier provider of intensive training classes for web developers, system administrators and programmers, announces a new opportunity to learn Django programming under the leadership of programming expert, Juan Pablo Claude. The intensive five-day training taught at the distraction free environment of Kloster Eberbach near Frankfurt, Germany is scheduled for June 22 - 26, 2009. Django is the most popular framework for creating dynamic, database-driven web sites using the Python language.

Students signing up before May 15, 2009 apply for the early bird fee and save €200.

Django Bootcamp at the Big Nerd Ranch provides web developers and designers with the best Django training available to develop robust web applications, elegantly and effectively. Based on the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle, the Python-based Django framework offers a pragmatic approach to web development ideal for web developers and organizations that need rapidly developed, easily deployed, extensible and robust web applications and websites. Moreover, the Google AppEngine offers a reliable, low-cost solution for entrepreneurs and small businesses to deploy their Django applications and scale them as their business and user base grows. And in five short days at the Big Nerd Ranch, students attending this Django training class will emerge fully equipped to begin leveraging this clutter-free framework for their own projects.

"One of the great things about Django's elegance and streamlined structure is that it allows for unbelievable complexity in design, while still remaining easy to administer," commented Django instructor Juan Pablo Claude. "While it was originally designed to meet the time-sensitive demands of a newsroom, in today's reality where time is money, Django offers a pragmatic solution for organizations wanting to optimize their resources."

Much like the framework itself, Django Bootcamp is a no-nonsense class that zeroes in on the essentials of Django instruction. By the end of the week, students will be able to:

• Deploy Django applications using mod_python and Apache or FastCGI and Apache
• Integrate databases into applications, using PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite
• Leverage Django's powerful template system to eliminate duplication
• Implement AJAX solutions into applications using Django
• Create web services using Django and generate email and PDF and CSV files
• Understand how to utilize the Google AppEngine to deploy Django applications and boost an organization's ability to create new web-based businesses

Students attending the class should have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming, and while Python is not a prerequisite, many students have found Learning Python by Mark Lutz a useful resource in preparing for Django Bootcamp.
