I do a lot of work in the Eclipse IDE.
Here are a few of my tips using that IDE--

Ok so you want to learn about Python and Django. Well read on and learn.

Python vs Other Languages

Understand the difference between Django and other languages.

• Java vs Python
• Python wiki shows how python is different from other languages.

Pythonic Style Coding

• Code Like A Pythonista by David Goodger, how to write readable stylistic dynamic python code.
• Google Python Style Guide, standard practices

Advanced Python Features

Certain programming concepts in Python just don’t exist in Java, for instance closures and meta-programmin. Read the following articles to understand these concepts.

• What Is A Metaclass in Python – A detailed explanation. Django uses quite a bit of metaclasses, and if you get a solid grasp on metaclasses, you’ll save yourself a lot of time going through models and forms.
• Hidden Features of Python – A great compilation of answers on Stack Overflow.
• A Few of My Favorite Python Things – showing of good features of Python

Python/Django Tutorials

These tutorials will help you get started and warmed up if you have programmed before. A must try. Some are videos, examples.

• Django Best Practices – Django Best Practices
• Getting started with Django.
• Google’s Python Class – A quick way to jump into Python programming, mix of podcasts, videos and examples.
• Writing your first Django app on djangoprojects – This canonical tutorial on Django gets you started using Django and projects.
• showmedo.com, lots of videos on Django.
• Python411, find the gems, they are in there!
• Django Dose Podcast

Best of Django Documentation

Read these parts of the official Django docs

• Managers / Querysets how Django interacts with relational databases.
• Request-Response / User, HTTP request information. The concept of Users and authentication is built into Django
• Views / Templates – A good introduction on how the application-level code connects to the client-side HTML/JS/CSS code.
• Django workflow handle requests coming from the HTTP server. This will help you understanding middleware, context processors and views work together and the sequence of events firing each. Read request/response cycle info from Simon Willison and James Bennett detailed information.

Python Tools

• IPython – Although not specific to Django, IPython is a huge improvement over the standard Python shell. With its tab complete feature, it saves me a few extra seconds of distraction whenever I can’t remember a function or module name.
• PDB / iPDB – The Python debugger tool is incredibly helpful going through a new piece of code, giving power to stop code at arbitrary points and inspect the variables at those points. iPDB gives you the power of PDB along with the features of iPython.
• Eclipse for Django, if you use Eclipse, this is how to use with Python/Django
• Sublime text editor, I’ve tried them all this one just works best.

Additional Resources

• Django Sites, successful examples of Django Sites:)
• The official site http://www.djangoproject.com/.
• The Django Book, a bit dated but a great read.

Here is an amazing article on Steve: John Sculley On Steve Jobs, The Full Interview Transcript

All I can say is just do it, if you are thinking about it, it is worth trying to get in. Apply ASAP, don’t delay it.

There are no guarantees but heck it is worth it you never know.
Y Combinator is more open then you think if they see a great team.

Most important things to show on your applicaiton:

• You can build stuff fast.
• Make sure there are two of you at least (founders). Make sure that you have been working or have been friends for years and you won’t just walk away from something that will take time to build. Startups can be stressful, show that your team can handle the stress of it.
• Make sure you put a video attachment, it will help.
• Have one person be the presenter during your fast pitch if you make it there in person.
• Grill, that is ask yourself’s questions the night before being interviewed, think about questions you think you won’t answer well, it helped us, the founders of Drchrono more then we thought it would. It is fast interview preparation that keeps you sharp for this kind of fast interviewing.
• Find one or more former founders from YC to talk too. We found two, one of them was the founder of Reddit, Alexis. We also found another founder who really helps us understand the process the day before our in person interview. Insight into the fast questions you will get will help you think fast on your feet.

Talk about something you have done amazing in the company or in your life that really stands out.
