Enterprise Python

A quote from a fellow Python coder... "Coding in Python is like writing poetry"

My talk will be about how to bring python into the corporate / enterprise world. With over 10 years of Python and Django experience, I wish to share my tribulations and exaltations in how I managed to incorporate Python and Django into the companies I've worked for, deploying systems all over the world.

Some of the high level topics:

• How to get buy in from your executive management team
• Lack of Python developers, J2EE, PHP and other resource pools
• Integrating with existing legacy databases
• System integration, and interfaces best practice
• SQL vs No SQL
• Horizontal scaling and cloud computing

Some of the technologies I'll be discussing:

• buildout and virtualenv: Dependency Management
• django: Web Development Framework
• south: Database schema management and migration
• nose: Testing
• fabric: Deployment
• sphinx: Documentation (ReadySET)
• celery: Enterprise Integration Patterns
• rest-framework / piston: Web API
• twitter-bootstrap: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript Development Framework
• responsive-themes: Supporting mobile devices

This talk is about using best practices, awesome libraries and the strength of existing systems and developers to rapidly deploy stable production systems into your company.
