<p>In DUTH 2016 there was a session for <a href="https://youtu.be/uzTaWKcMzos">Django Validation by Loïc Bistuer</a>, in the session Loïc showed many areas you can validate user inputs from Django Form way to the Database Engine. To be honest validation in Django is a piece of cake and even if there is special validation rules you want to implement, you can still implement it, as I said it is easy and straight forward in Django, all of these validation is server side which happen on web server not on client-side, so what about client side?</p>
<h1>What is client side validation?</h1>
<p>In simple way, client side validation is validation user input on browser before sending the data to sever.</p>
<p>It is good practice to validate user inputs from client side to save roundtrips to server, but it needs extra work to implement your validations using JavaScript or using HTML5 form validation, but there is a way to replicate Django form validation to client side, let’s see how.</p>
<h1>Django Parsley</h1>
<p><a href="https://github.com/agiliq/Django-parsley">Django Parsley</a> is a Django app that replicate Django Form validation to client side using <a href="http://parsleyjs.org">ParsleyJS</a> library, and it’s so easy to use it.</p>
<h1>How to use Django Parsley?</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Install Django Parsley …</p></li></ul>

<p><img alt="Bored employee in front of computer" src="http://blog.inf.ed.ac.uk/sapm/files/2014/03/boredom.jpg"></p>
<p>I attended Django Under The Hood 2016, in sprints there is a comment passing around which <a href="https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2016/12/14/django-boring-or-why-tech-startups-should-use-django/">Django is boring</a>. Django is boring is actually a good news for the framework users, but it's sad one for developers want to contribute to the framework.</p>
<p>Every time I go to check <a href="https://code.djangoproject.com/">Django tickets</a> to contribute, I found they are difficult and in depth, because Django is a mature project now and the amount of contribution needed to the codebase is rare, but if you want to contribute you can check <a href="https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1">easy pickings</a> tickets. In DUTH before the sprints projects leaders start to ask attendees for contributions, I found this is a good opportunity for me and for anyone wants to help the community and start to contribute to Django community.</p>
<p><img alt="Github duth contributions" src="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/images/duth-contribution.png"></p>
<p>If you want to contribute to Django and help the community, I have some suggestions for you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Write blog posts on How-tos, tips, and tutorials for Django, and <a href="https://djangopackages.org/">Django packages</a> for example Django REST Framework.</li>
<li>Help Django team to <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/internals/contributing/triaging-tickets/#triage-workflow">move the ticket from stage to another</a>.</li>
<li>Contribute to one of Django’s packages, specially packages you are using, check their github page and help them.</li>
<li>Tried more than one package for X …</li></ol>

<p>I wrote a post about <a href="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/how-to-run-celery-as-daemon.html">how to run celery as daemon</a> and it has many steps to do, many files to copy to your server, configure permissions, and configure upstart, but after sometime I found another and easier way to daemonize Celery.</p>
<p>In this method we will use <a href="http://supervisord.org">supervisor</a> to daemonize Celery, and this can be achieved by 3 simple steps, so let's do it.</p>
<h1>Step 1</h1>
<p>Install Supervisord <code>sudo apt-get install supervisor</code> on Ubuntu server. For other OSs please visit <a href="http://supervisord.org/installing.html">the official documentation</a></p>
<h1>Step 2</h1>
<p>This is the most important step, and in this step we will create supervisor configuration file to daemonize Celery.</p>
<h2>Supervisor Configuration File</h2>
<p>Celery project provide the basic configuration file in their <a href="https://github.com/celery/celery/blob/3.1/extra/supervisord/celeryd.conf">Github repository</a>.</p>
<p>Supervisor configuration files live in <code>\etc\supervisor\conf\</code></p>
<h3>Celery official configuration file</h3>

<p><img alt="Unit Test Works" src="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/images/unit-test-works.jpg"></p>
<p>In this post I'll tell you how to add isort and flake8 tests to your Django project test suite, this is simple script and you can start from this point and customize you own test suite.</p>
<p>As they said Django is a “batteries included” web application framework, and one of the batteries is Testing framework, <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/">testing in Django</a> is easy and you can start writing tests even if you didn't do it before.</p>
<p>If you ever work with Django, you will write tests for your project, to test your views, models, forms, etc.. but it's better if you can add <a href="https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort">isort</a> and <a href="http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/">flake8</a> tests to maintain the quality of your Python code.</p>
<h1>Installation</h1>
<p>We need some packages first so we can run the tests</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>pip install flake8 isort flake8-isort
</pre></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong></p>
<p>It's better to create and use sperate virtualenv</p>
<h1>Configurations</h1>
<p>flake8-isort is using <code>.isort.cfg</code> file to run the isort test against it, so let's add our configuration file.</p>
<p><strong>.isort.cfg file</strong></p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">[*.py]</span>
<span class="na">max_line_length</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">120</span>
<span class="na">indent_style</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">space</span>
<span class="na">indent_size</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">4</span>
<span class="na">known_first_party</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">isort</span>
<span class="na">ignore_frosted_errors</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">E103</span>
<span class="na">skip</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">runtests.py,build,.tox</span>
<span class="na">balanced_wrapping</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">true</span>
<span class="na">not_skip</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">__init__.py</span>
</pre></div>
<h1>Test Python Script</h1>
<p>Now it's time to write the Python script to run Django, isort, & flake8 tests.</p>
<p><strong>runtests …</strong></p>

<p>Late in 2014 I decided to shift my development stack from Microsoft .NET Framework to <a href="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/my-first-django-app.html">Django/Python stack</a>. It's been almost 2 years now and I'm really enjoying and learning many things. I'm so happy that I've done this leap.
In 2016 I had the change to attend DjangoCon Europe 2016 at Budapest, Hungry. I enjoyed it to the maximum, it's my first time to meet the community, and it's first time attending one of Django community events.</p>
<h1>Django Community</h1>
<p>When I started to learn Django, I found everyone is recommending Django documentation itself as start, from my past experience in .NET framework that its documentation is not enough to get your head around the framework, you need at least to read one book or watch one video course, but after reading Django official documentation, I was shocked that it's enough as start, it's enough for your daily tasks, it's enough to dive in Django framework, or fixing issues. The quality of <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/">Django official documentation</a> is amazing.</p>
<p>When I went to DjangoCon Europe 2016 I saw people reflecting the philosophy of Django framework, the community is so welcoming as Django documentation, I had the chance to meet <a href="https://github.com/freakboy3742">Russell Keith-Magee</a> and …</p>

<p>In this article you will learn:</p>
<ol>
<li>How to send emails from <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com">Django</a>.</li>
<li>How to use <a href="http://www.celeryproject.org/">Celery</a> and <a href="https://github.com/pmclanahan/django-celery-email">Django-Celery-Email</a> to send email asynchronously.</li>
</ol>
<p>Last week I had the chance to get my hand dirty with Celery, I used it to send emails from Django project asynchronously using Django app call djnago-celery-email. What am I mean by sending emails asynchronously? I mean that user doesn’t wait for SMTP/mail server to send email message and give feedback to the web server, instead Django will call the send email procedure, pass it to Celery to do it away from Django application, so that user won’t wait, for example you want to send email to customer once he save customer information, you don’t want to keep user wait for application to save the customer data and send email, by sending email asynchronously user will only wait for saving confirmation and sending email celery will take care of it in the background.</p>
<p><img alt="Alt Text" src="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/images/1442310863_full.png"></p>
<p>Now let’s see how we can do that.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Install and Setup Celery</h2>
<ul>
<li>In terminal, active your <a href="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/2015/03/virtual-environment/">virtualenv</a> and type <code>$ pip install django-celery</code></li>
<li>Now celery and its Django app djcelery are installed into your virtualenv.</li>
<li>Next step is …</li></ul>

<h2>The start</h2>
<p>I received Fitbit Flex as my birthday gift from my wife and I joined Fitbit community since 2013, I love the device and I love the sleep tracking feature, and with this feature now I can know why I'm feeling sleepy by data. </p>
<h2>First Issue</h2>
<p>Less than one year of using my Fitbit Flex, it started to not charging, and vibrating for alarms and feedback, so I created a support issue on Fibit support portal, and the quick answer was, Oh we are sorry please give us an address so we can send you another one. I got shocked, this reminded me of Amazon Customer Service quality. <img alt="fitbit support 01" src="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/images/Screenshot-2016-01-05-14.15.50.png"></p>
<h2>Second Issue</h2>
<p>After receiving the second Fitbit Flex, I used it for while and the wristband got damaged, I created a support issue again, they request a confirmation that my band is damaged, I replied with images, and boom the same response "Oh we are sorry please give us an address so we can send you another one". <img alt="Fitbit Support 02" src="http://www.emadmokhtar.com/images/Screenshot-2016-01-05-14.22.55.png"></p>
<h2>Third Issue</h2>
<p>My replacement Fitbit Flex got damaged also and again I created support issue, and this time they were more awesome than before, they sent me a replacement though my warranty is …</p>

<p>I bought an iPad Mini 2 to write paper-less/eletronic notes instead of having notebook and a pen always inside my pockets, I <a href="/2015/12/paperless-notes/">blogged about it before</a>, but I upgraded my stylus from <a href="http://www.moshi.com/peripheral-stylus-pen-stanza-duo">Moshi Stanza Duo</a> to <a href="http://dot-tec.com/">DotPen</a>, and I want to share my experince with you. </p>
<h1>My Experience</h1>
<blockquote>
<h2>TL;DR</h2>
<p>If you want a stylus that is perfect for hand writing, buy <a href="http://amzn.to/1OmUCfX">DotPen</a>. </p>
</blockquote>
<p><img alt="dotpen" src="http://dot-tec.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/dot-pen-blown.png"> I'm using DotPen now for two month, and I'm so happy about it, it feel like writing on paper but instead I'm writing on my iPad mini 2, and best part that it can support any note taking app, I'm using it with GoodNotes and Penultimate and it's perfectly working with them. Here is comparison between my handwriting on paper and on iPad using dotPen. <img alt="paper-less Note" src="/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4280.jpg"></p>
<h2>Some Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>It's not bluetooth stylus which can sync with apps to enable plam rejection feature, so that why I recommned using it with Goodnotes becasue of the writing panel. </li>
<li>It has On/Off button which I found it's taking it really off, my iPad mini 2 can't recognize its tip if it's off.</li>
<li>It take AAA battery which can run it for 2 weeks at least, you won't change the …</li></ul>
