Google AppEngine Demo

9, Apr 2008

Great example of getting a simple application working on Google AppEngine. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

AppEngine = More Google Users

9, Apr 2008

So I’m going through the Getting Started documentation on AppEngine, Google’s new hosted application platform, and I come across this great bit of information. Reload the page in your browser. Your application redirects you to the local version of the Google sign-in page suitable for testing your application. You can enter any username you’d like [...]

Google AppEngine

8, Apr 2008

So trying to get my learning project hosted on server has not been easy. I don’t have servers or even extra desktops that I can re-purpose for that task. So because of that, there have been no updates for the project. It has progressed, but not as fast as I had hoped. But…I’m thinking about [...]

Pownce is Down: Does anybody care?

20, Feb 2008

I just updated my Firefox installation to the Beta 3 version. I’ve been using Flock, but when I heard Leo Laporte and one other person talk about how great Firefox 3 is, I had to try it out. Funny enough the last time that I opened Firefox my homepage was set to Pownce. When I [...]

Templates and the Model API

19, Feb 2008

Chris Pratt commented and sent me in the right direction to find the resolution to getting my template to display the human readable portion of the Choices that are setup in the models.py file. If I’m not explaining that clearly enough, or using the wrong terminology, please forgive me. Here’s the section in the models.py [...]

The Project: Django Views

16, Feb 2008

This is probably the most simple Django Views.py file ever. I’m just not there yet. I’ve been reading about using the generic views in your own views, but I haven’t implemented that yet. I’ve not posted the templates as I had mentioned in the last post. I’m still struggling with getting the value out of [...]

The Project: Django URLs

11, Feb 2008

Okay, I’ve added the generic views for the podcast list and the podcast detail. These were fairly simple once you looked at the right examples and documentation online. I’d like to say that the create_object and update_object generic views were working as well. I’ve got the create_object working, but the update_object won’t work. If anyone [...]

The Project: Django Models

10, Feb 2008

Alright, this seems a little embarassing. I’ve never put up code before for public scrutiny. I put up podcasts all the time that may be a little iffy, I make blog posts, but this seems different. I’m learning this and so I feel very naked posting this. But here it is any way. I’m not [...]

The Project: Podcast Directory

10, Feb 2008

I’ve had a bug in my bonnet to create a web application with Python/Django. I started this blog, under a different name, to get me started learning Python. That didn’t work so well, but the one thing that it did get me excited about is Django. I would like to build something in Django, I [...]
