For NLP and Information Retrieval, University Stuttgart and University of Saarland. And for part time software engineering jobs are also available with better hourly rate than any other HiWi (Student job). By the way, learning German (at least basics) will take you a long way.

I used Django Tastypieapi (http://tastypieapi.org/). Deployed with wsgi, backend was mongodb. Worked perfectly fine. Documentation is also better than average.

I scraped around hundreds of the major universities of US for one of my client. And he used the data to build a mobile platform for students which integrated different services. I mainly grabbed course, class routines, bus route and email of both professors and students. I still have around one and half million of email address of academics.

I also did some e-commerce information scraping.

One of the most interesting one was for a data selling company. They asked me to collect data of geo information, disaster, finance, tweets etc. We used to apply ML and statistics to give forecast with historic data.

Clean and direct write up. It reminds me when I used to work on crawling/scrapping. Covered most of the topics that needs to know for web crawling.

I had the same feeling, though I am using celery for different projects, still it needs time for me to figure out "what is going on there?". Specially I have used for simple task queue system which was overkill. And python-rq definitely a good choice. It does one thing, API is quiet simple and short and it does the task well.
