<p><strong><a href="https://github.com/simonw/mendoza-trees-workshop">mendoza-trees-workshop</a></strong></p> Eventbrite Argentina has an academy program to train new Python/Django developers. I presented a workshop there this morning showing how Django and Jupyter can be used together to iterate on a project. Since the session was primarily about demonstrating Jupyter it was mostly live-coding, but the joy of Jupyter is that at the end of a workshop you can go back and add inline commentary to the notebooks that you used. In putting together the workshop I learned about the django_extensions “/manage.py shell_plus --notebook” command—it’s brilliant! It launches Jupyter in a way that lets you directly import your Django models without having to mess around with DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/simonw/status/993901752259940353">@simonw</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/speaking">speaking</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/my-talks">my-talks</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tutorial">tutorial</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventbrite">eventbrite</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/jupyter">jupyter</a></p>
