Pug.js Training

[PythonLinks]

Title: Pug.js Training

Duration: 2 -3 hours

Type:

• Training (2 hour class, people chat for another hour.)
  I do need a space with tables to do the training. I have one in Katowice, but that is a bit far for most people.

Language:

• English Native English Speaker. Questions in Polish are welcome.

Description:

Pug is an interesting HTML templating language. Like Python, CoffeeScript and HAML it uses indentation to define structure. It can generate static HTML, Python's Chameleon Page Templates, or Javascript. There are also versions for Django, Jinja2 and Mako . I find it so much simpler than hacking HTML. It is particularly good for editing complex menu structures.

Developers get the basic idea behind Pug very quickly, so after a quick introduction, most of the class is on doing exercises. No need to install anything. Everyone gets their own docker container running on a their own sub domain. That makes it really easy to help a particular student. First we practice Pug basics in the browser, then we work with bootstrap menus. We can either work in the sandbox for Javascript Client side rendering, or in the sandbox for Python server side rendering. People work at their own pace, when they run into a problem I help them solve it.

By the end of this class you should be quite able to create and edit your own Pug templates.
HTML and Javascript experience is required. A little Python is also helpful. Bring a laptop. No shell or Linux experience is needed!

No need to know Node.js, or how to log into a server.

Yesterday I ran another Pug.js class.
It went really well.

People liked that everyone gets their own docker container on a sub domain. No install headaches.

Here are the class notes.

The html example works realy well. People get the idea right
away.

They worked through the exercises, and learned a lot. It is a
very efficient approach to teaching. Everyone could work at
their own pace.

I would like to offer this class through the local Javascript User Group.

Are you interested?
