Sphinx Presentation at OPAG link

Posted on 2010-08-29.

I will be giving a talk at the September meeting of the Ottawa Python Authors Group covering some documentation work I have done recently using Sphinx domains and a custom Pygments lexer.

I am working on an embedded device for a client that includes a proprietary text command language. Sphinx supports documenting many common languages like C, Python and Ruby, but with the 1.0 release it now allows adding "domains" for new languages. I have used this feature to create a domain for this command language.

Sphinx uses Pygments to provide syntax hilighting for source code examples. None of the available options fit this command language so I also created a custom lexer for this command language in just a few lines of code.

My talk will cover creating these extensions for Sphinx and Pygments.

Nontrivial Django Forms Talk Text

This is the text from the Nontrivial Django Forms talk I gave last Tuesday at the April meeting of the Ottawa Python Authors Group.

This talk starts where the Django forms documentation leaves off.

Django 1.1 Talk Video

Posted on 2009-06-10, last modified 2010-08-29.

This is a video of the Django 1.1 talk I gave last night for the Ottawa Python Authors Group. We were bumped out of our reserved room so I did the talk in the pub. The timing worked out quite well, I just finished answering questions as game 6 was starting in the background.

Thank you to Andrew Ross and FOSSLC for doing the recording and setting everything up.

~~You will need Flash 10 to hear the audio for this presentation. If you don't like flash, please send a polite note to the ePresence people asking for them to support other formats.~~

Update: "we got screwed by the company we were dealing with for the software & hosting and the talk is lost" And sorry, I have no back-up either. The text from this talk is still available.
