Django Master Class at OSCON 2007

The Django Master Class was a great presentation by Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Simon Willison, and Jeremy Dunck. The link to the slides and notes provided pretty much have everything in full detail, which is awesome, but there's the summary...

The format was Jacob, Simon, and Jeremy each presenting 3 of their favorite topics in Django. This format worked out very nicely, I thought, as it broke up the talk into 9 20-minute chunks.

Simon presented unit testing, forms and AJAX, and OpenID.

Jacob presented "Stupid middleware tricks", template tag patterns, and the "rest" of the stack.

Jeremy presented signals, custom fields, and GIS.

Altogether they were some great topics you don't see or hear about often, some undocumented stuff, and great code snippets.
