We only have 2 developers and because of Django, that's all we need. We hired the 2nd awhile ago and he had some Python experience and picked up Django very quickly. The good documentation helped a lot in that regard. That in itself is another point -- a home grown CMS in PHP with no docs would have taken much longer to figure out and get up to speed with. The MVC model, I think, would also help. As the new employees are learning they can work in something less technical like templates. As they learn, they can then do views. And the senior devs can do things like model design, middleware, new features, whatever. Python and Django wouldn't be my concern when hiring new employees since they are easy to learn. It's all the other stuff that comes with web development that together is harder to find (eg: valid (x)HTML, CSS, Javascript, database, source control, unix/linux, HTTP, etc.) -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
