Django in July

Something that we value at Yelp is keeping things new and exciting. A few days ago, we were able to host a brand new meetup group, the San Francisco Django Meetup Group! They launched their summer speaker series by inviting Randall Degges to discuss how he grew his Python API company using Tastypie, Django, Flask and Amazon’s DynamoDB. He touched on the trade-offs of these technologies from a business perspective and, along the way, told some fun stories from his own company. One of the techniques he advocates is service-oriented architecture (SOA), something that we here at Yelp have been aggressively moving toward as well.
Later this month, we’ll be hosting three other exciting meetups to kickstart the summer: SF Java User Group, SF Python and Designers + Geeks. We’ll be learning about a variety of topics ranging from IPv6 (the latest revision of Internet Protocol implemented to address IPv4 exhaustion), to understanding the importance of creating design for end-users. Josh Brewer, Tom Hatch and Owen DeLong will bestow their knowledge upon us, and pizza and drinks will fill our bellies while enjoying the sunset view from the Yelp HQ event floor. Hope to see you there!
