I tripped on Django while looking for the best tool to re-implement a project. I'm not the one writing the code and for a number of reasons, Rails was picked for that project. But, in the process, I realized where Django was the clear winner. On our project list now is re-implementing some sites that are currently done in Drupal using Django.
That said, I have read the tutorial and dabbled a bit to understand what Django is and what it can do. I seem to have ended up at "the tutorial is easy but now what"? That is, the concepts seemed to fit fine but attacking a new project made my head hurt. I grabbed the miniblog software from http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/d8ae2e3dc533e214/75d2281e490f1d83 that was recently mentioned, got it running and kept thinking about all the additional things I could add. Now, I realize I still don't have time yet but it was a very different feeling from my previous tinkering experiences. What I am suggesting is that Django growth would benefit from a tutorial that starts with "something that works" that you can play with to understand the basics and can expand as you gain confidence and knowledge. I am clearly not ready to write this nor do I currently have the time but if somone is interested in taking this concept further, I would be happy to work with them. We could probably even turn it into a series of web articles for the Linux Journal site if the potential of making a bit of money is appealing. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
