This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This is an introduction to contributing to the open source platform that P2PU runs on: Lernanta. Lernanta is based on (also referred to as a fork of) Mozilla's Batucada project and is a Python/Django web application whose code is on GitHub.
We'll walk through the whole process together from getting the code, running it locally, finding a bug to fix, fixing the bug, and contributing the fix to the Lernanta project. Please see full description for more information.
Lernanta is written using the Django framework. In order to understand the Lernanta code and locate specific parts of interest, you will need to know about Django.
The first stop for anyone learning Django should be their website. You can read their overview, follow the installation guide and do the tutorial.
Please post comments about any resources that you found useful while learning Django?
