As a followup of my dabbling with CakePHP, I had a bit of a play with Django.
Django is not all that dissimilar to CakePHP, in that it is based on MVC concepts. One of my reasons for trying Django is because I have always wanted to learn Python, yet haven’t been able to stomach the thought of having to go through a million and one “Hello, world!” coding examples before I get a grip on the language (I’ve already done that for QBASIC, Tcl/Tk, Delphi, JavaScript, HTML, Java, PHP; I couldn’t bear the thought of one more torture session.)
So, I thought I’d dive right in by copy-and-pasting from the Django tutorial and pick it up along the way. It’s gone pretty well, with me creating a simple fetch-and-display-data frontend, with a super-sleek admin backend.
