Spent a good chunk of this weekend playing with the Django web framework, it’s frankly the best web app creation framework I’ve ever used. I love the use of a url configuration file to make requests to a db and serve out a page, as opposed to the old method of rolling code into physical files. This just feels so much cleaner than a server cluttered with asp and php files.
I’m working on transferring this blog over to Django from wordpress/php, so far I’ve worked on it for about 2 hours and I’m almost done, thanks to Django’s wonderful admin suite which is built as you create your application. As I say, it’s an amazing platform. I’ll be using this opportunity to work on properly working with Microformats and better integration with the RSS feeds provided by the other services I subscribe to…oh it’s going to be awesome fun!
