This morning during the DjangoCon US 2023 sprints, with Will Vincent we showed his Django Microframework repository based on Carlton Gibson 2018 talk, and then I showed my optimized version. 🤯

I published an introduction to database generated columns, using SQLite and the new GeneratedField added in Django 5.0 🤖

I'd be very happy to have your feedback on my article 🤗

I published my first article of 2024 🎉

It contains all my ideas for the informal session of the Django roadmap for 2024, proposed by the new DSF board member, Thibaud Colas @thibaudcolas 🚀

Thanks for the hint 🙏

Today for lunch I drank this excellent vegan organic white wine "Pecorino" from Abruzzo. 🍷🇮🇹
Then I noticed the symbol on the bottle. 🍥🐧

A great way to start a cold winter day is to walk along the Pescara seafront listening to the latest episode of DjangoChat, hosted by William Vincent and Carlton Gibson, with guest Simon Willison 🌅🎧

The episode is long, the first part was very interesting, for the second I'll take another walk.🏖️🚶‍♂️

Dear #Fediverse, I ask you for #help 🌌

Recommend me some #books to buy on 📚
• #Python (language)
• #Django
• #Accessibility (#web)
• #PostgreSQL
• #ArtificialIntelligence
• #DesignPatterns
• #FreeSoftware
• #OpenSource

I'd like to have 🪪
• author
• title
• suggestion reason
• purchase URL

I prefer #ePUB (more than Amazon and content with DRM), but #paperback is fine if there are no alternatives ✨

Thank you 🙏

P.S. It's fine to propose books that you've written 👍

P.P.S. #boost please 🔁

After having thought about the idea of creating a #Python group in my hometown #Pescara, the first #PyBeer meeting of the @pythonpescara group will finally take place tonight 🍻

I hope everything will be fine and there will be many more meetings in the future 👥

Wish us luck! 🤞

Well done to the social managers of DjangoCon Africa for the total coverage of the conference here on the Fediverse. 👏

Sharing images and information live during a conference is a demanding job and I know it well. 😅

For those like me who were unable to participate in this first DjangoCon Africa in person, it is wonderful to be able to follow everything that happens in Zanzibar. 🌍

Have a good conference. 🤗

A request for Pythonic help 🙏

We are trying to ensure that django-configurations work with Python 3.12 and Django 5.0 but the tests fail in a strange way! 😅

Can you help us fix tests? Here is the PR 👇

I didn't know about this SQLite fork. ⎇

I wonder if it can be used with the same SQLite backend for the Django ORM. 🤔
