Take Two: If I got to do it all over again
by Alex Gaynor
Django has always had a strong commitment to backwards compatibility, and is used by thousands of developers every day. This means that it's very difficult to make large sweeping changes to Django. This talk is a look at how I'd redesign different components of Django, if I got to do it all over again.

Creating Dynamic Applications with Django and Backbone.js
by Mjumbe Poe
Django is a great tool for creating powerful database-driven web applications quickly. The ORM, form processing, the admin interface, and wealth of community applications make Django the right tool for a number of situations.
One thing that Django doesn’t do well is make it terribly easy to create highly-interactive, dynamic interfaces. This talk will be about using Django with Backbone.js to help create these interfaces. Backbone.js is a Javascript framework that, in many ways, sees the world in the same way as Django. These two tools can complement each other nicely.
Topics:
- Similarities and differences in how the two frameworks see the world
- Creating REST interfaces with Django REST Framework
- Tools to ease the interface between Django and Backbone
- Templating strategies
- Shortcomings and implications on accessibility

Debugging Live Python Web Applications
by Amjith Ramanujam and Graham Dumpleton
Monitoring tools record the result of what happened to your web application when a problem arises, but for some classes of problems, monitoring systems are only a starting point. Sometimes it is necessary to take more intrusive steps to plan for the unexpected by embedding mechanisms that will allow you to interact with a live deployed web application and extract even more detailed information.

A Gringo's Guide to Internationalization
by Jacob Burch
Coming from a speaker who escaped a notion to "why would we need to translate?" this talk aims to show what actually goes into translating a website or app using Django's Internationalization tools. Covered will be an overview of batteries included, best practices and anti-patterns in using them, and some third party tools to help make your life escaping the myth of a Lingua Franca easier.

Views can be Classy!
by Kenneth Love
An overview of what class-based views (CBVs) are, which ones are available, and how to use them in your projects. I'll also cover creating mixins, where function-based views still make sense, and how to test CBVs.
As part of this, I'll be covering my django-braces (https://crate.io/packages/django...) package.

Django on Gevent
by Cody Soyland
This is an introduction to using the Gevent networking library to empower your Django application with realtime features and resource-efficient cooperative concurrency. Django's synchronous APIs make it impractical to use in a callback-based networking library, but fast single-threaded concurrency is still possible using the mind-blowing capabilities of coroutines.

The Dungeon Master's guide to Django's ORM
If you've ever been curious about Django's ORM implementation, you will have noticed the required learning curve. Some of the code is fairly complicated. Other bits are worse. Here comes a 30 or 40 minute guided tour of the uncharted realms: how the pieces fit together, where to look for things, why the current design is what it is. A portion of this is my fault; I should probably explain myself.

Between where the Tutorials end & the Wild West begins: bringing new devs up to speed on Django
by Julia Grace
4 months ago I had never even seen a Django template. But I'm an engineer; coming up to speed couldn't be that hard, right? Wrong. Doing so efficiently and effectively was tough. I went from zero to production ready code used by hundreds of users everyday. I'll present my missteps and victories, laying out how other teams can quickly bring new team members, who don't know Django, up to speed fast.

Django forms in a web API world
In a world of django powered web APIs and arbitrary consumers, traditional methods of rendering & validating django forms are ineffective. We discuss how to uphold the API provider/ consumer separation, yet utilize provider's django form subsystem to power forms in a pure JS consumer. We achieve this by serializing form configurations, rendering metadata, error handlers & exposing them over API.

Flasky Goodness (or Why Django Sucks?)
This talk dives into the specifics of why Django isn't always the best tool for the job, general frustrations with the framework, and potential fixes. It will balance out with many Django praises too, of course.

Using Celery with Social Networks
Many web applications need to interface with social networks, and celery, a Python distributed task queue library, is a great tool for the job. However, achieving speed and stability can be difficult. This talk will cover task organization/distribution, rate limiting, failover, and other practices to aid in working with social networks at scale.
