That's a pretty broad question. Rather than talk of switching from asp.net to Django, it's important to just run out and do a few quick and dirty projects to get your feet wet. From there you can make a personal decision about it.
If you're looking to learn new things, instead of just picking up a new framework, I think there is a lot to be said for stringing together your own framework. In that regard, PHP is a really easy way to get started, although the language isn't overwhelmingly gorgeous.
Django does open up some interesting work opportunities, especially it's somewhat over-represented in the small/medium newspaper world.
- rksprst 18y agoThanks, I've never made such a drastic switch so it's great to get some feedback from people who have more experience. I didn't think that django had much work opportunities, so it's great to hear that. I don't particularly like php (though I've made sites with it) so I'd prefer not to go that route. But building my own framework is a great idea, and the challenge will be much more interesting than learning an existing framework.
