Developing using Django

December 9th, 2007 by bri

I’ve been waiting for a long time for an opportunity to develop a site using Django, and the opportunity has finally presented itself in the form of redeveloping our own site at smartercode based on a new look and feel.

I’m hoping that the Django framework will make developing the site as easy as promised in their blurb…. As a starter for ten, you can head over to their online book at Djangobook for a great step-by-step guide.

Expect a report at a later date on how the development is progressing!

    How are you getting on with Django development? What benefits you feel it has over (old skool) JSP+Struts development for a transaction ecom site. Also interested if you have any experiences in using it to integrate RESTful webservices.

    The Django development is going really well. I like the fact that you get so much for free “straight out of the box”, for example forms validation and an ORM capability… We were able to reverse engineer an Object Model from an existing database with just a one-line command! Now I’ve worked with other ORM tools, but this really impressed me.
    As for JSP+Struts I’ve no real experience in that field so I can’t really comment, but so far I reckon it knocks ASp.Net into a cocked hat!
    Will let you know how we get on if we start to integrate webservices…
