Are you a Django fan? If not, what's your motive for solely recommending Django, instead of TurboGears or Pylons?
(Yes, the fact that Python has multiple frameworks is a problem, but settling on Django is not a solution.)
- ralph 19y agoDjango is a reasonable enough one to learn. He hasn't the skills to examine the possible contenders and make a good decision himself. After learning Django, then he may be in a position to better appraise the competition. Likewise, I didn't say "read a book on Unix" but gave a specific, worthy, contender. As a complete newcomer there's little more annoying than general hand-waving.
- inklesspen 19y agoHm, I guess that's fair enough. My main concern is that if he starts with Django, he might never know there's other frameworks.
- ralph 19y agoIf he starts with Python, he may not know there's other languages. If he... If he starts with digital computers, he may not know there's analogue ones. :-)
- inklesspen 19y agoYes, yes.. But I hang out in #python.web on freenode, and you'd be surprised how many people I get who think that Django, or mod_python, or CGI is the only way to make Python webapps. Not the best way; the only way.
