So you want to write a web application…

So you want to write a web application but you don’t know much about working with databases, css, xhtml, and all that other crazy stuff. I highly recommend that you explore Django. The prerequisites for learning how to use Django are access to a web server with Python and a database installed. I recommend using a computer running something like Ubuntu.

In one hour I was able to slap together a fully dynamic website for tracking the movement of tapes from one data center to another while making sure that there are timestamps and users associated with the tape movement. Creating the same fully featured application using PHP and MySQL would have taken me days. I think I’m in love.
