Ma petite entreprise

I realized I did not share the slides of my Montréal Python 8 Pamela presentation. Pamela is language/tool that allows developers and designers to write HTML easier by providing a CSS-savvy, Python-inspired syntax to HTML.

Pamela comes with the following features:

• Indentation is used to express structure
• Shorthands for CSS classes and ids
• Syntax that looks very much like HTML, except simpler
• Command-line program to convert your .paml files to HTML
• Optional embedded web server to test your Pamela files

Pamela is the perfect companion to CleverCSS, so if you're interested, have a look at the following presentation:

After presenting Retro and Pamela, I will be giving a short talk on Sink (not yet released) at Montréal Python 9 (September 30th at UQAM).

Sink is a simple but handy tool that allows you to compare and take snapshots of multiple directories, going a little bit further that what you could do with "diff -r". I will be presenting how to use sink to :

• see what has changed on your filesystem after a ./configure && make && sudo make install
• do a post-install and post-configuration backup on a new box
• merge two or more directories

Sink is written in Python and has been used for years now, so I think it's high time that I present it to the Montreal Pythonistas ! See you Wednesday at Montréal Python 9
