Hi Bruno and RJ,
I've had very few experience with web frameworks, I've dealt with CakePHP
but mostly changing values, I've never built anything from scratch. But
like I said before, I've been wanting to learn DJango for a while but never
had a project or the right motivation and this might be it. I have no
problem in reading documentation/tutorials, done that before and that's a
good way to learn/improve, since you guys have experience I can learn
faster.
The project itself seems very interesting and ambitious. A project like
that is always motivating for me, the experience and knowledge acquired is
very rewarding for future projects and academic courses too! I will try to
compile and play around with Mixxx and will show up at your IRC
channel/send another message after that.
Best regards,
João
