Blogging Ottinger (tim)Django
Congratulate me. I’m now a Django novice. I started playing with it on Saturday, and I already like the transparency and simplicity I’ve seen so far. Note: “so far” isn’t very far at all. I have a web page and urls configured to do basic date math. I’m just working through the Django Book so far.
Maybe it’s because I’m trying now, but web frameworks are starting to make more sense to me. The first non-cgi I saw was Java, and was just short of inscrutible to me. The C#.NET looks more reasonable, but it’s still pretty long on setup and configuration it seems. Django just makes sense so far.
I may find something tomorrow or tonight that invalidates all the good things I just said, but we’ll see. For now, I know a little bit about .NET and I know a little bit about Django. That’s not a bad starting place.
I’ve been using Django for a few months now and really enjoy it. See my new wife’s shiny new site for selling Indianapolis real estate. (Shameless link plug, I know.) But Django made it easy to get that site up and running quickly.
