[http://www.snakesandrubies.com/event/ Snakes and Rubies] was a meeting in Chicago involving the Django team and David Heinemeier Hanson from Ruby on Rails, and had a presentation of both frameworks, and a questions and answers session. is the website is taken over??? did you forget to renew your domain reseller??? please check this! Thanks! Jacob Kaplan-Moss has created some [http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2006/jan/05/snakesandrubies/ videos] of the meeting; for people who would like something quick to skim over, I've been working on a bit of a transcript of his main full conference video. (Currently an incomplete one). ''Please keep me (eugene-at-lazutkin-dot-com) posted on the progress --- I'll add this transcript to Google Video files so they would be properly indexed. 4 files are "pending verification": full version, Adrian's presentation, David's presentation, and Q&A session.'' It's pretty close to word for word, excluding some hesitations and backtracking, and ever so minimally edited to make the slide references more understandable. * [wiki:SnakesAndRubiesTranscript/Introduction Introduction] * [wiki:SnakesAndRubiesTranscript/DjangoPresentation Django Presentation] Presentation about Django by Adrian.
