Tryton ERP/application, ViewCount (Django web app) followed by Project Night

Sorry I accidentally deleted this meetup (along with the 18 RSVP's) but it is still going ahead as originally scheduled. I have updated the schedule/agenda for the day.

================================

Scheduled Speakers

Mark Hayden will give on a talk on the Tryton ERP/application platform.

Introduction to Tryton ERP/application framework and Nereid integration with Flask. Review the steps to create a Tryton module (a music library) and a Flask web application that integrates with Tryton.using the "Nereid" module. Time permitting we could discuss some of the more interesting potentials such a setup can offer (nicely integrating e-commerce with accounting back ends, etc).

Brad Rogeau will be presenting his Facebook Django web app ViewCount, a Facebook application that offers an interface for analyzing views of photos and videos shared on Facebook. An article has been written on his application on TechVibes (http://www.techvibes.com/blog/alberta-innovators-develop-minecraft-project-2015-01-20) and the details are described in the comments that follow.

Given that these are two relatively substantial projects I am expecting and willing to set aside more time than usual.

General Information

print("Hello and welcome to the Calgary Python local user group (http://162.246.156.20/).") Check out our website (http://calgarypython.club/)and github for more detailed information.

Python project nights are unstructured chances for Python developers to work together, mentor each other, connect socially, teach, learn, or do whatever else it is Python developers want to do together.

Come work on Python projects, get programming help, help others, and hang out. Our project nights are great ways to build the Python community, by allowing them to meet and interact in whatever way they find most beneficial.

Doors are open from 6-7:30pm. If you arrive late and the front entrance is locked you can try messaging me via Meetup, calling reception, or texting the number at the front entrance.

Things to bring: a wireless-enabled laptop and power cord.
