Description

The top five Django problems in large enterprise organizations are integrating with Active Directory, passing security audits, transferring data from legacy systems, installing packages from PyPI through proxy servers and combating misperceptions around dynamically typed programming languages. We'll solve these problems with code and resources to back up arguments to enterprise stakeholders.

Abstract

Building and deploying Django applications in enterprise environments is more difficult than in startups. The top five problems based on experience consulting on Django projects in large government and commercial enterprise organizations are: - integrating with Active Directory - passing security audits - transferring data from legacy systems - installing packages from PyPI through proxy servers - combating misperceptions around dynamically typed programming languages

During this talk we'll work through specific examples so you can solve these problems in your own enterprise environment. The solutions involve a combination of code and resources that prove Python is "enterprise-ready."
