Django Training in the UK
Posted: July 30th, 2010 | Author: BeardyGeek | Filed under: Django | Tags: Django, training | 4 Comments »Update: I’ve decided not run the live training sessions due to interested parties being to geographically dispersed. Instead I’ll release the training materials via a series of screencasts and tools for users. Watch the blog for updates.
In Autumn 2010 I will be running several Django courses throughout the UK.
There will be 2 different types of courses:
- Django template design – 1 day – for html/css coders who need to be able to fashion a template around the data being passed through by Django
- Django introduction for programmers – 2 days – for those with web development experience who want to hit the ground running.
The cost will be around the £200 per day mark. I’ll publish more firm details soon.
Thanks, saved me pulling my hair out…
Fed up of using crap search engines that cannot seem to grasp the contect of NON-NICKEL strings when I'm searching for them.
For us eczema/dermatitis sufferers it's useful to know which string version are NON nickel since the mass market is Nickel wound.
Thankfully some (but too few) manufacturers do offer an alternative to nickel wound.
*Off-topic* I also see you're a fellow web developer / programmer
Jim,
[Sorry about the rediculous typos :S]
Apparently it’s quite common to be allergic to nickel, which is used in most cheap electricguitars strings, and also guitar hardware such as frets. Oh dear.
STAY DRY
I have the same problem, just came on in my thirties, never had nickel allergy before. Strangely, my hay fever stopped and nickel allergy began. I've since learned they call this 'allergy transfer'.
So what can you do? Well, firstly, stop playing for a month and let your hands heal.
When you start playing again use stainless steal strings or polymer coated Elixir strings. I tried using stainless steel strings and that significantly reduced the rash, but not entirely. I'm now using Elixir and….so far, so good. You can have your guitar re-fretted (haven't done this yet), but the thing I've not seen or heard mentioned yet is…..STAY DRY.
The nickel is leached out of the strings when they come into contact with your perspiration and then absorbed into your skin.
I've discovered that covering my hands and guitar neck with talcum powder keeps my hands bone dry and since I've been doing this the problem has almost gone.
I'm about to add 'anti-perspirant' and 'barrier cream' into the equation to see if this helps further. Good luck!
