   Thanks for the updated edition! As about comments, I personally think the DjangoBook website has gotten it right somewhat - it has a comment facility wherever one would want to http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter01/

    I'd say you could use a little refreshing on a thing called price anchoring - http://www.mint.com/blog/how-to/price-anchoring/ I hope that helps you set your price of your product.

    It's really not that impressive of a form factor or specs for this price range today. What's interesting is that Pstammy had a similar budget but had similarly priced components two years ago - http://paulstamatiou.com/diy-200-dollar-pc (

    Hi there, You definitely have an interesting idea there. I can see that collecting analytics for offline businesses can be very valuable. Here are my two cents: 1) The reason online Analytics (like say Google) works so well is that there is

    I don't know the scope of your app, but if you're just starting out with Django, try Google App Engine. It's super scalable and it's easy to deploy. Also, take a look at this sample search app that runs on Google App Engine - the source cod

    On top of nostrademons advice, find people who you (and they) can work along with. They will be your family and so you better get along with them well or else perish. If you are building a technology based company, you should be very clear

    Besides internal use, I would also add App Engine to the list. Of course, he also forgot to mention that Google has the BDFL a.k.a Guido :-)
