CONTEST: 3 eBooks, Instant Django 1.5 Application Development Starter [CLOSED]
Well, well, well.. after a while I’m here again writing a post. This time I won’t write anything techy, well it’s related to my job/passion: programming. Time ago I was asked to do a technical review of the book that today I’m going to give away. With this contest I’ll give away three eCopies of Instant Django 1.5 Application Development Starter

The book explains how to write you first Django-powered application without spending hours to read documentation and figuring out how to do things. It goes straightway to the point: write a fully functional Django-powered application.

Click on the image to see book’s details

How to participate? It’s very easy:
1. Get the post’s link: here you go
2. Share it on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, whenever you want. More you share, more possibilities you have!
3. Comment the post with the link(s) of your sharing (or proofs of that if you have private/closed accounts)
The contest will end on April 2nd at 23:59 (GMT). I’ll draw randomly three people using http://www.random.org/ and publishing their names on this post.

Please, comment this post using a valid mail because this will be used to send over your e-copy.

I would thank Packtpub for offering three e-copies of this book!

Ok, I think I’ve done. Good luck to everyone!

UPDATE: 2013-03-03 19:55

HOWTO: yolk, manage your python modules
Installing pyhton modules is very easy and straightforward. The problem is keep the up to date, list the installed modules, etc. For all these tasks there is Yolk.

Examples:
```
#> yolk -l   # List all installed Python packages
#> yolk -U   # Checks PyPI to see if any packages have updates available
#> yolk -a   # List only the activated packages installed
```
Just go to the PyPy page, download it and manage your python modules in a pythonic way

HOWTO: Italian gestures
Gestures have been always very important in communication. They preceded the spoken language and human beings used gestures to communicate with their fellows.

I think that gestures are the oldest way of communication. OK, what about gestures today? Are they still used? Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, but depends on the country and culture.

As Italian, I like to show you how we Italians use gestures to communicate with other people. Following there are three images with the most popular Italian gestures.

What do you prefer?

Which one is ambiguous (that has another meaning in you culture)?

What’s the funniest?

What’s an offence (for you)?

So, now you are aware about Italian gestures and before to plan your trip to Italy, be sure to study Italian gestures!
