I introduced Django to a company fitting "they're big (Fortune 100)"
I can tell you the single biggest win for the framework. Clear separation of the presentation layer from the rest of development. Designers were able to work within Django templates with no problem and very minimal training.
- pxlpshr 17y agoI don't have enterprise experience with Django but per your second remark, I couldn't agree more. The templating approach using extends/blocks is a breath of fresh air over PHP stuff I used in the past like Smarty. To put some numbers behind that, in about ~60 days I've overhauled the user interface about 3 or 4 times without impacting the developers. There's no way I could have imagined doing that in the past without causing a big mess. It's great to be able to have this type of flexibility, the hardest thing I've found about UI/UX is making changes after you felt what was wrong about it.

- sandGorgon 17y agointeresting... do you think the view-first model of Java frameworks like Scala/Lift would make it more attractive ?
- mrtron 17y agoOf course it will make it more attractive.
