I am using Django now for two months after trial and error with Rails, two PHP frameworks (CodeIgniter, Cake) and Python's Web.py and I feel like doing work. Write a model, view, template, URLs and get on with life. Pleasure to use. It won’t become mature because there won’t be enough users to make it happen.

Python rocks. I started to use Django for commercial web apps after a few years on PHP / few months on Rails and it just works. You know: Think about the ideal way to write a web app. Write the code to make it happen. Watch this http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6297126166376226181 Sticking with Django is my final web framework decision, no matter what comes next. If the community will start to bloat it, I will branch out my own fork. You are joking about using the asp.net mvc framework right?

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... The Django development is going really well.

To be fair - looking back over the slides, there was a lot of sound stuff in there - the "do not innovate in production" [paraphrased] argument stood out as being odd to start with, but on reflection I think I get it now... I've seen it done by other developers and I've almost certainly done myself - write something you think is dead cool in the most advanced and even obscure way - then get indignant when everyone else runs a mile from it/throws their hands up and says it nonsense/throws it back at you etc. @Chris Heilmann - sorry, didn’t mean to come across that harsh - I did enjoy your talk!

My main issue was that I expected the other talks to be technical through and through and wanted to point out the aspect of how a good team structure and following a common way of working in a team can make an amazing difference. I am only the European trainer and bug-fix requester for YUI, the head honchos are over the pond (for now) :) What would you have expected? I have some more speaking gigs coming up and I am also happy to travel the island. Agreed on PPK's stuff. I have massive respect for him but I have no clue where he went with these arguments. Ajax to me is 80% server and 20% clever client interface, and his example to me would have been a good SQL DB and a flash frontend. Sorry to have disappointed you.
