ShowMeDo will be publishing a five part series on using Google App Engine. Sounds like they will get you up and running with the SDK and coding a little Hello World app in rather short order.

Believe it or not, I’ve never used any version control to manage anything up to this point. So I decided that as of tonight, I’m going to start using it… specifically, Bazaar (bzr). Why that one and not a different one? I dunno… I guess I liked their website. :)

Anyway, I found a blog post called Discovering ‘bzr push’ that was actually quite helpful for a newb like me. Along with the printable reference card, I think I’ll pick this up rather quickly.

Also, feel free to mock/abuse me for using bzr instead of hg in the comments.

Slides from my Lighttpd talk are up in the gallery.

Some of the slides that make use of build-in/out transitions exported to single images, so it doesn’t show each step. For example, in the Web Frameworks slide I included shout-outs to Rails, Django, Merb, Pylons, and TurboGears… but you’ll only see Rails.

If I get motivated, I’ll export it to Flash and upload it.
