@Odagi point well made. thanks for everyone for being so welcoming :0 I spent today building my first Django local site, ended up with 4 apps. taken me awhile to get my head around things i ended up with....
registration - handles my user signed security - login, logout web - flat pages etc - rewards - a simple api link to an existing platform in java given this was my first time really playing with the framework, well it conforms to what i'm use to in java and ColdFusion, views are almost the same as CF MVC. at some point i will do a write up on my blog http://www.glynjackson.org/blog/ (plug, plug) so i have some of the basic stuff down with models and views, I'm sure i will have lost of stupid questions in the coming months. I go to some cons so why not add another one to my list (my wife will kill me)!!! again thanks :) On Tuesday, December 18, 2012 9:36:42 PM UTC, Glyn Jackson wrote: > > I'm hoping this is the right place to ask such questions, please forgive > me if not. > > I'm making a real time investment in learning another server side > language.
