Hi Kent, ok I've decided to go through Django. Now the clue is to find some simple guide to output json from my model and maybe I can benefit also for the url dispatcher to map in a clean way the request coming from my ajax app.
This is what I'd like to do: ajax app-> URL -> urls.py -> view.py -> ORM -> db then view -> json -> ajax app The second path is something I really have to figure out! I hope It's right.
