Starting with Django is a bit like learning to snowboard. No pleasure just pain for the first days. Once you get the hang it's bliss.

- ErrantX 17y agoI might bear that in mind andf give it another shot. I much prefer PHP for the area's Django seems to be useful for simply because it was painful to get into!
- jokull 17y agoIt doesn't really feel like you're getting anywhere the first couple of days because there are so many things to get right and learn about. Hang in there, check out the Django book and read tutorials that teach you cool stuff (balance between taking small steps and seeing cool stuff to look forward to). If you're feeling adventurous check out virtualenv right away (Python not Django specific)
- dkersten 17y agoTotally agree. My first day or two of snowboarding were painful. A lot of falling, horrible balance, sore knees... then after a few days I got the hang of it and suddenly it was the most amazing thing ever. Django is the same. Until you get an understanding of the basic concepts, its painful and annoying, but once you do, its a breeze and you'll have a lot of fun.
