Presentation: Introduction to HAML & SASS and the ideas behind them
(Kevin Moore) [20 min]
-
Kevin shows us the beauty behind HAML and SASS coming out of the Ruby on Rails community. Also an inspiration behind SHPAML.
-
HAML (http://haml-lang.com/) generates HTML
-
SASS (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets - http://sass-lang.com/) generates CSS.
-
Presentation: Introduction to SHPAML and how it works with Django
(Steve Howell) [45 min]
-
SHPAML is a lightweight syntax abstraction layer for HTML that can also sit on top of the Django templating language. (http://shpaml.webfactional.com/)
-
"On one level SHPAML is an attempt to introduce haml-like concepts to the Python community."
-
Steve will be presenting the core concepts. He's also talk a bit about Webfaction and the stack there.
-
He'll also talk about the website for SHPAML that was built with Django. Especially for newbies, the website is a nice illustration of Django's power for building simple stuff quickly.
-
Lightning Talks or Socializing
[30 min]
This is where you can share a cool thing
you're working on, or a Django trick you've learned.
Just a 5-10 minute talk or demo.
