Django training session

Next monday (12-oct) I'm doing a training session on Python & Django, organized by some open-source group. It's intended to give people a real feel of what's it like to develop in Python & Django & will contain both lecture & hands-on exercises.

 

The event is open to everyone, but you must register, in either:

There will probably be more such sessions coming later (got many requests for training from Tikal & Verint employees), but they're not scheduled yet.

Study compares productivity levels of Python+Django vs. C#+ASP.NET

 A recent study measured the productivity of using Python+Django vs. C#+ASP.NET, in terms of user-stories per week. The results are that 1 Django developer is equivalent to 2 ASP.NET developers, productivity-wise:

The Django team that participated in the benchmark, BTW, had no prior experience with Django, which probably implies that the difference can be even higher.

Benchmark comparing caching options for Django

 This nice benchmark compares simple caching solutions for Django, either integrated or front-end, which provide amazing performance boost:

http://www.codysoyland.com/2010/jan/17/evaluating-django-caching-options/

 

Note that their all very simple to use (usually transparent to the application) & enable a x250 boost in response time & throughput.
