<p>The first workshop has been completed successfully. Thanks to a great team,

participants were able to build a working Django web site from nothing.

Some participants were brand new to Linux as well. So there was alot of ground

covered. Fortunately, Django is straight forward and pretty easy to work with.</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li>Huge thanks to the <a class="reference external" href="http://nvcc.edu">Northen Virginia Community College</a> for providing a lab outfitted with computers.</li>

<li><a class="reference external" href="http://www.willowtreeapps.com/">Willow Tree Apps</a> provided lunch on both days of the workshop, allowing us to interact with eachother and learn that much more.</li>

<p>And of course, those who taught us all something new</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li>Alan Elkner (<a class="reference external" href="http://elkner.net/">elkner.net</a>)</li>

<li>Annalee Flower Horne (how does one reach you?)</li>

<p>I have a lot of data and thoughts and ideas, but I have to compile it all first.

I hope to put up something graphing the spreadsheet data and ideas later this

week. So check back!</p>

<p>Until then, quote of the course, &quot;Most of computer programming is just doing math the wrong way&quot;.</p>
