Download or read book Attack of the Zombie Nits written by B. Strange and published by Egmont Books (UK). This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St Sebastian's School in Grimesford is the pits. No, really it is. Built on the boggy remains of a medieval plague pit, this once proud school's dodgy nineteenth century foundations are causing it to slowly subside. Every year, it sinks a little further into the ground, and every year the ghosts of the plague victims underneath become more disgruntled. All they want is to rest in peace, but during term time all they hear is the clatter of hundreds of pairs of high school kids' feet overhead. The ghosts - egged on by their spooky ringleader, Edith Codd decide to get their own back, and they're willing to play dirty. Really dirty. They swarm into the St Sebastian's sewer system and start to kick up a stink the only way they know how. Popping up through pipes and taps, they invade the school, morphing into monsters and zombies, performing possessions and hauntings, and generally causing as much mischief as in inhumanly possible. But the ghosts haven't reckoned on three friends in year seven; James, Alexander and Lenny. Together, the boys prevent a plague of zombie nits from turning everyone at St Sebastian's into the walking dead, save their school from an unusual invasion and finally thrash rival school St Mary's at football with a little help from a fiend.

You'll work through the development of each project, implementing and running the applications while learning new features along the way. Web frameworks are playing a major role in the creation of today's most compelling web applications, because they automate many of the tedious tasks, allowing developers to instead focus on providing users with creative and powerful features. Python developers have been particularly fortunate in this area, having been able to take advantage of Django, a very popular open-source web framework whose stated goal is to "make it easier to build better web applications more quickly with less code." Practical Django Projects introduces this popular framework by way of a series of real–world projects. Readers follow along with the development of each project, implementing and running each application while learning new features along the way. This edition is updated for Django 1.1 and includes an all-new chapter covering practical development tools and techniques you'll be able to apply to your own development workflow.
