What’s prototyping ?

• “A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.” - Wikipedia

• Prototype means “primitive form” in Greek

Why is prototyping important ?

• Fail Early & Cheaper Iterations

• Proof of Concept & Requirements Gathering

• Communications & Testing Team’s Capabilities

• Minimum Viable Product (M.V.P.)

Why Python ?• Python is easy to learn

• Python focus on speed of development

• Python Standard Library is extensive (Batteries included)

• PyPi - Python Package Index (Kitchen sink here)

• Language Interoperability (C++ - Cython/boost, Lisp - CLPython, Prolog - PyLo, Java - Jython, etc.)

The Prototype• Prototype an E-Shop with REST API and Mobile App.

• Django A high-level Python Web Framework

• REST APIDjango REST Framework

• Mobile AppKivy: Cross-platform Python Framework for NUI Development

Why Django ?• Django is python - Works well with python libraries

• Django is open source - Works well with open source tools (Nginx, Redis, etc.)

• ORM*

• Auto-admin

• Built in schema migration that supports multiple databases

Why Kivy ?• Kivy is python

• *Kivy language (Similar to Nokia’s QML)

• OpenGL ES 2.0 (Yes, you can build games)

• Crossplatform - Develop on Linux, Windows or OSx

• Bulldozer - Automate build for Linux, Windows, IOS/OSx, Android.
