Django is not about web "design" but about server-side web programming - just like PHP is FWIW, and you'll have to learn programming if you expect to do anything right with either. PHP is probably easier to get started with, but the way it works tends to promote messy code and bad practices - and FWIW, as a language, it's a mess by itself. Python is a more powerful and cleaner language, and Django is a sane, no- nonsense framework, but it assumes you already have some basic programming knowledge. To make a long story short: you'll have to learn programming anyway, so you might be better learning with a sane language and framewok - but my opinion is obviously biased ;) > P.S- I work on OSX don't know if its relevant or not. As far as I'm concerned, OSX is a pain (as a programming platform) whaver language / techno you want to use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
