Right after finishing my review on the Django template development book I got contacted again by the Packt folks to do the same for the Learning jQuery 1.3 book. I was most pleased with the request.
Now, this book has 444 pages compared to the 272 pages from Django book. There is much more to teach [...]

When developing Django Widgets that require Javascript interaction with the server (Ajax, XHR, etc… ), you want your widget seamlessly deployable and [...]
Last month I got an email from Packt telling me about their latest book on Django Template development. I was invited to give it a read and see how I liked it.
Now, I’m a lazy and slow reader. But this book was quite an easy read. I liked how fast I went through the pages [...]

Open Selector - Barcamp Lima from UniversidadPeru on Vimeo.
Here is the presentation I used for presenting Open-selector.
This was part of BarcampLima in November 2008, here you can find all the other talks
