Pythonistas, let's continue our magnificent journey on the Pythonic Way. It's now time to dive head first in web development using Django, a Python web framework. Our last workshop [1] of the Winter 2012 series will show you that "Beautiful is better than ugly" and that "Simple is better than complex". -- Zen of Python

The Montréal-Python Rugby League (MPRL) [DoesNotExist] cruelly needs a web app to manage its teams and its season. In only 3 hours, we'll make this happen.

[1] We originally planned 4 workshops for this Winter 2012 series, but supporting the student strike movement made us reorganize things. Lucky you, you might see yourself following the 4th workshop in the very first Montréal-Python Summer Workshop series!
