- rockwithme000, on 07/04/2008, -12/+40PHP is better
- Dumbledorito, on 07/04/2008, -0/+26Dueling Djangos. "SQL like a pig!"
- TheKeithD, on 07/04/2008, -0/+23No, this making the front page is a glitch in the digg system. Don't worry, admins are working on the issue right now. Motivational posters and videos from Break will soon be returning to the front page.
- irishjays, on 07/03/2008, -3/+23My potential girlfriends will continue to cease to exist as I digg this article.
- bixby1, on 07/02/2008, -1/+20It looks like 4 out of 5 dentists recommend this thing so I'm going to take the tutorial.
- emehrkay, on 07/04/2008, -2/+19I have no interest in Django, but I do like the fact that this article is here *digg*
- pentupentropy, on 07/02/2008, -2/+18python is a million operations in 11 commands =)
- VelvetoneFusion, on 07/04/2008, -0/+13...and here I thought I was gonna learn a programming language from a 1930s jazz guitarist.
- OpCzar, on 07/04/2008, -0/+13They're called frameworks. The reason for their existence is simple: to keep you from "reinventing the wheel" every time you want to build a new web site for a client. Many of them base themselves on the Model-View-Controller concept so it's easy to find code pertaining to the change you want to make. Even the best programmers don't have 'unlimited' foresight. Therefore, these tools are best for the freelance web programmers that don't have the luxury of a QA department. If you're interested, you should start right away researching for the ones you find easiest - there's countless frameworks out there. Be sure to choose one that might be supported for a while though because they come and go quite often.
- xeslana, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11These new frameworks make development faster so we developers do not need to sit there and write the same tedious code over and over. Less time writing code allows for more time designing code.
- adolfojp, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11Django: Not a programming language.
- HigherLogic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10Don't hold your breath.
- albiniak, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8a cool application of django for musicians: "djedna is to musicians what wordpress is to bloggers."
http://www.djedna.org - Oryx, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7PHP is better.
Just to annoy you >:-) - GIScope, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7I confirm
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6LOL
- Tulle, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6After having done some work in Haskel and many other things - I'm going to have to say you're a douchebag.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -7/+13I really hope, Python takes over PHP as the most popular serverside web development language. The language design of PHP is a big headache.
- thebrinkman, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7I'd rather he teach my jazz guitar.
- mistafreeze, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6Maybe the Django ate your baby.
- fLUx1337, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6You know what I think? The Digg recommendation engine is working....
OK, here's what's happened to me personally over the last few days:
Before it was launched, I had 12 diggs for the entire month. I only digg things I'm really into, tech stuff mainly. But just looked, I have dugg 54 items this month now.
So if everyone has had a similar experience, no wonder we have more tech stuff reaching the front page! ;) - TrellSaracen, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7Personally, I enjoy developing in PHP, can't stand Python, and have never had any reason or inclination to look at Ruby or Rails. Other people have different preferences.
Frankly, I don't much care what people develop with as long as what they produce is easy to use, looks and runs smoothly on my current-generation browser of choice, and isn't bogged down with needless or intrusive crap (Flash, excessive AJAX, etc). - Grjemo, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6What else is there?
- alexbu, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4also, great for GAE
- igutekunst, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I have a girlfriend. And she stole my PHP book. I'm serious.
- thebradz, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I hate you.
- j3one, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Not bad for webmonkey... or you can head over to the horses mouth http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install ...
- DesdinovaEL, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I went to Berklee and took a Django guitar lab. Has nothing to do with this but thought I'd throw that out there.
- mozert, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Agreed.
- Acglaphotis, on 07/04/2008, -3/+7Nonexistent? Hardly.
- Matt2k, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Oh. So the Django framework is 'extremely secure'. Could you kindly elaborate, as you are clearly a security expert with years of experience in the field? Also qualify how it runs 100% better than PHP. I take it you designed the same website twice and ran some tests?
Digg is a never ending source of fascinating information!!!! - tramblings, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I couldn't believe it when I found this article! I'd like it either way but I'm a Django user too.
- PabloMac, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4"Chime."
- superkendall, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4It's showing signs of life! Nice to be able to read again.
- superkendall, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Oddly, it did not.
I enjoyed it anyway though! - whoaohh, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Programming? What? This is Digg!
- matrixbandit, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4***** that. Like I didn't have a hard enough time pronouncing Django, someone had to come up with "djedna".
I'm working on a framework and I'm going to call it Kjhnaklebackle, hows that sit with you? - SquishyWaffle, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Why are people so quick to knock things before even bothering to figure out what they are? :)
- swordedge, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3seems to me lesson one should be how to pronounce the blame thing
- koreth, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Wow, she must really love you to want to spare you from finding out too much about PHP.
- placidified, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Sproutcore is a Javascript framework, Django "is a high-level Python Web framework"
Apples to Oranges - rumblestrut, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Maybe this will help:
http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/9/10/ruby-on-rails-v ... - SquishyWaffle, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Lots of funny stuff towards the end.
The bulk of people using Django are *NOT* using Ellington, take a look at djangosites.org.
The Django book (which you can either buy in dead tree or browser online, free, http://www.djangobook.com/) does not assume previous Django knowledge. Wrong again.
Django adoption is taking off, and the latest endorsement by Google's App Engine reinforces the fact. I don't care which language/framework becomes the most popular, but Django is here to stay and doing well. The notion of writing it off is just silly and close-minded. - bxblox, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I think the online documentation is more useful for people who already have some minimal familiarity with PHP. Otherwise it's like trying to learn how to use the unix shell by randomly typing "man" and a random word and hoping it's a command.
- Oryx, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2What's a PHP book?
Doesn't everyone just use the online documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ (or other spoken language)? - placidified, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3I was about to digg you up until you said "crappy RoR". There is no need to resort that type of language and "diss" other frameworks. If Django tickles your fancy great, leave you other frameworks/languages alone.
- phatvolvo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Sssssssssssssssssssssss
- AngelaQ, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I got to the part where it said, "If you understand perl or C++ this will be perfectly clear. If not, go study perl or C++."
Talk about useless. -
