Django is a Python web framework named after jazz musician Django Reinhardt. It features an object-relational mapper, reusable apps, a template language, admin interface, and testing framework. Many large sites use Django including NASA, PBS, and news organizations. It has a vibrant community and over 650 pages of documentation.
A talk delivered to the Philadelphia Python User Group on 09/17/15
Models form the backbone of most Django sites. They contain the fields and behaviors of the data your site is using. The proper planning and implementation of models is one of the first steps to creating powerful and reusable Django apps. It’s also crucial for avoiding pitfalls and complex workarounds down the line. In this talk you’ll hear about: -
• Django model fields and methods
• Model inheritance
• Relational databases
• Migrations
• How to access the data stored within your models
This is the slides I used when I shared my humble insight on Django to the students in University of Taipei in 2016. Please feel free to correct me if there is anything wrong.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

27. Some Warts
• No support for • REST/SOAP
multiple databases support lacking
• Poor environment • “Explicit” but still tightly
support (think rails) coupled for some things
• Template logic tags • No integrated
below average deployment toolchain
• No built-in migrations • CMS extras lacking
(wysiwyg, file browser...)
• Too big?
28. Rest of the stack
• Databases • Deployment
• SQLite • mod_python

• Postgresql • fast cgi
• Oracle
29. Tips
• virtualenv is your friend
• default settings.py is about 50% of what a
production site ends up requiring
• local_settings.py
• Don’t be afraid of lots of apps
• ‘South’ is a solid migrations tool
