Asr 2009

Cuker attended the 2009 ASR trade show in Downtown San Diego. We made a strong showing and connected with several large action sports brands to talk about their 2010 interactive strategies. Cuker clients had a strong showing: demos of the Tony Hawk Ride Project were popular, Quiksilver's Cypher campaign was front and center, and as always, Volcom's booth was a big party!

Django Con 2009 Day 2

Django Con has been a great experience so far. We have been able to bond with many developers in the community and been inspired by the conversations and talks.

Thanks to Brian Luft from Lincoln Loop for giving a shout out to our CEO, Aaron Cuker in his panel about how to sell Django. During this panel we gained insight from lead Django developers at NASA, PBS, and others.

We have found quit a bit of interest in our E-Commerce platform - Web Cube CMS. We feel that there is a big need for the product within the Django Community and we aim to provide the best E-Commerce Django platform.

We are giving a lightning talk today about Web Cube's E-Commerce Model.

Django Con 2009 Day 1

Just a quick check in from Djangocon 2009. There is a buzz about Test Driven Development, and we at Web Cube have been listening intently. Eric Holscher's talk on testing in Django provided a great overview and was in line with our own internal goals for continuous integration. James Bennett provided further insight on the necessity of well documented and clean code, and Brian Rosner's talk on deploying Django provided some alternate solutions to our own deployment mechanisms. We spent some time with Jared Kuolt of partner hosting company Slice Host. A special thanks to the PDX python user group for taking on the Djangocon masses for their monthly meeting, and to Web Trends for hosting. And finally, an emphatic plug for Portland beer!

Also, we stubbled into guy at one of the local pubs enjoying a Green Flash Beer. It is always cool to travel hundreds of miles and see someone drinking a beer out of a bottle that we designed.
