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

This repository contains the code for the "Web Development with Python and
Django" tutorial session run by [Mike Pirnat][mpirnat] and [David
Stanek][dstanek] at CodeMash 2013 and 2014.

**This is NOT the [CodeMash 2015 version][v2].**

In this tutorial we'll build a full-featured website step by step using the
Django web framework.

Getting Started
---------------

If you're attending the tutorial in person, **please** make sure you install
these prerequisites **before the class begins** so that we can make the most of
our time together in the session.  You and your fellow attendees will thank you
for your preparedness!

You'll need to install:

1. [Python][python]

Django is written in the Python programming language; you'll need to install
  Python in order to make anything work.

You should install either Python 2.7 or Python 3.3.

2. [Git][git]

You will need the Git version control system in order to work with the
  exercises in this repository.  If you're new to Git, don't panic--we won't be
  doing anything too weird, and we'll walk through all of it in the session.

3. [Pip][pip]

Pip is a tool for installing Python packages.  You will need it to install
  the Python dependencies for this tutorial.

4. [Virtualenv][virtualenv]

Virutalenv is a tool for creating isolated Python environments on your
  system.  This allows you to work on multiple projects that might have
  conflicts in the versions of libraries they depend on.  It also keeps your
  base system installation of Python nice and clean.

Setting Your Path (Windows)
---------------------------
**If you're on Windows**, we recommend [following these
instructions][python-windows] to get Python, Pip, and Virtualenv going.

**Be sure to update your PATH!**  This varies a bit between [different versions
of Windows][windows-path] so use the method that's right for your OS.

If you installed Python 2.7, add:

C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\

If you installed Python 3.3, add:

C:\Python33\;C:\Python33\Scripts\

Setting up the Project
----------------------

Once you have installed these basics, let's get the working environment set up
for the project.  Time to open up a command line! (Terminal in Mac OS X, good
ol' "cmd" in Windows.)

1. Create a new virtual environment ("virtualenv") and activate it

On Linux or Mac OS X:

$ virtualenv django-precompiler
      $ cd django-precompiler
      $ source bin/activate

On Windows:

> virtualenv django-precompiler
      > cd django-precompiler
      > Scripts/activate.bat

2. Clone this repository

In the django-precompiler directory from the previous step:

$ git clone https://github.com/mpirnat/django-tutorial.git ./src

3. Install Django and any other Python dependencies

In the django-precompiler directory from the previous step:

$ cd src
      $ pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Check to make sure everything's in good shape

In the src directory from the previous step:

$ python prerequisites.py

On Windows, that looks like:

> python.exe prerequisites.py

5. Rewind the repository to the start of our exercises

In the src directory from the previous step:

$ git reset --hard ex00

You should now be ready for the tutorial!
