10:10p.m. Django!
Excitement!
I have switched from Rails to Django. Ideally this isn’t too big of a change for you, but it is for me. For the first time ever, I have written my own backend!
For the most part it was simple and incredibly fun. Basically its something I though I’d never be able to do, so I’m way too excited about it. Most things should be about the same. If you find any errors or 404’s, please let me know.
Every few months, I had gone to the Django website, looked around a bit, and chickened out. This last time, though, I started reading about it a bit more. I found some various sites made with Django. Then I read that Mephisto’s template language, Liquid, was based on Django’s built-in template language. That was enough for me to get the book and dive in.
As soon as I did, I totally fell in love. A couple days later and things just started flowing. Next thing I knew, I was a part of the (mt) Django beta and here we are!
I’m sure I’ll be talking more about it soon. With any luck its faster and more fun for all.

Fun AND exciting, eh? Welcome to the club!
Django eh, i keep seeing it in places but have never read too much into it. Moving from Rails though...what made you change?
YEAHHH go liz!
Recently come across Django and been stooging around the sites - from what I've seen I'm tempted to have-a-go.
Thanks to your site (and the links you mention here) I'm certainly encouraged. Shame I'm too late for the (mt) beta, as they are my hosts, but it doesn't appear that it will be too long before it comes online.
