Development of a startup in 24 hours at AngelHack 2012

Hello world!
Now I am in Seattle, Washington at AngelHack is the largest hackathon in the USA. The essence of the hackathon — 24 hours of work saisanit, deprogramming and present a product, a program, an app, which can a little change in people's lives.

In 24 hours we will try to create a Facebook app, the idea of which is to analyze existing Facebook friends. Using the application you can analyze all the existing contacts and to make lists of friends with the same interests.

We will conduct translatio.
The team consists of 3 people participating in the Hackathon for the first time. Anton Volkov is a product designer, Eugene Vasenev – interface design, and Sergey Generalov – programmer (me). Follow us on Twitter and Facebook (links at the bottom of the post).

Technical part:
The project is developed in python, Django, mysql. To start the background task we plan to use Celery. At the moment we are running two servers: Application and Mysql database on Windows Azure (a free 750 hours). Originally planned to use Amazon AWS, but since Windows Azure is one of the sponsors, decided to try them after I promise a detailed article about the experience.

About the hackathon:
AngelHack - the largest Hackathon in the USA, 23-24 June 2012 simultaneously in several cities – San Francisco, Seattle, Boston and new York. Two of the winning team gets $25 000 as a prize and seed investment from Right Side and Instanta Capital. Top 20 teams will receive mentoring advice within three weeks from partners AngelHack.

What could be easier? the #test.ps1 & $PSScriptRoot\ConsoleApp.exe Examine the behavior of console applications when running them from the command line, using PowerShell and using PowerShell ISE: execution Result In PowerShell ISE, there is a problem with encoding, as the ISE expects the output to the encoding 1251. Use Google and find two problem solving: c use [Console]::OutputEncoding and through the powershell pipeline. Let's use the first solution: test2.ps1 $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" function RunConsole($scriptBlock) { $encoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding [Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("cp866") try { &$scriptBlock } finally { [Console]::OutputEncoding = $encoding } } RunConsole { & $PSScriptRoot\ConsoleApp1.exe } execution Result At the command prompt, all is well, bu

Since the service is still undergoing testing, you need to request access to it here . the project setup Let's say we have two branches, master and we want to deplot on production environment and development — development environment. Create in the root of the project file bitbucket-pipelines.yml with the following content: the image: python:2.7.11 pipelines: branches: master: - step: script: - apt-get update # to install required zip - apt-get install -y zip # required for packaging up the application - pip install b
