Django first impressions

python, django

Meh. That sums it up I think. The truth is that it’s a bit complicated to get started with. Also Python is not all that it’s cracked up to be, the code structure seems awkward just like Javascript. I like my class per file convention, it’s easier to discover what’s in the codebase without having to know every file in excruciating detail. Sure, you can be really productive after a while but it’s not bang! and get going.

Maybe I’m biased but the MVC .Net stack sure seems easier to get started with. Download Visual Studio Express edition and you’re in business. Setting up Python and Django is a bit more involved. Still the appeal of the language is keeping me interested so I press on.
