Adrian,

Thanks for presenting Django at tonight's ChiPy meeting. I blogged about it here: http://www.jrandolph.com/blog/?p=8

Excerpt:
"""
To all Rails developers, please stop picking on PHP, Perl, Java, and .Net– it’s just too easy. Aim a little higher–here’s your real competition:
http://www.djangoproject.com/
"""

Hello, django. Nice to meet you!

Ksenia July 15, 2005 at 8:56 a.m.

Just curious: is this blog also powered by Django? If yes, it would be great example to start with :)

Adrian Holovaty July 15, 2005 at 10:10 a.m.

Ksenia: Yes, this blog is powered by Django. Check out http://code.djangoproject.com/browser... for the full source code. And we'll get a tutorial up shortly.

Adrian,
Thanks for the great presentation last night at ChiPy. I can't wait for the 'Getting Started Guide' to be posted.

Hey, if you folks are emulating the Railers, do you plan on being as snarky and condescending as (many of) them too?

I'm counting on it; don't let me down.

Adrian Holovaty July 15, 2005 at 11:31 a.m.

Tom Joad: Sorry for those broken links! We're still working on the site in preparation for our official launch.

I'm an experienced Ruby developer and a relative newbie with Rails, but I must say this looks real nice. I've gotten a bit turned off to Python because of some terrible Python code I've had to deal with at work (yeah I know it isn't necessarily Python's fault), but this is certainly worth a look.

Competition is good, and I think the improvements that Rails has spawned for web development in other languages just helps us all move forward. I think Django will have the same effect. I also like the web-site design. So good luck.

Oh, this is great. It's an object centric framework that I attempted to create but had no time to finish. Awesome.

Adrian, this looks fantastic, I'm downloading and digging into the docs ASAP!

Super. Rails, Trails, and now Django. I love having choices. Maybe I should learn Python...
