This mentorship is no longer available.

This mentorship is addressed to people who know a bit of web programming and want to either learn the Python/Django ecosystem or expand their knowledge on it.

We will explore:

1. Writing Django applications
   • Function-based and class-based views
   • User system
   • ORM and migration system
2. Structuring Django applications
   • Where do we put what?
3. Django standard library
   • What else is there in Django?
4. Deploying Django applications with nginx and uWSGI
   • We built it, how do we put it online?
5. Optimising Django applications
   • How do we make it not slow?

We would work like this:

• Meet in person to discuss what kind of projects would be interesting to build.
• Draw a handful of milestones to measure progress.
• Meet weekly or twice-weekly until we complete milestones.
• The length of the mentorship is not strictly defined but it’s designed to be between 5-7 sessions with 2-4 hours per session.

Applications until September 15th, 2022.
