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.

Python & Django tutorial & slides

 I've written a tutorial on "Building an Enterprise Information System using Django" (see file attachments below), intended for both executives & developers. Based on it I gave a talk at Verint Systems, summarizing the main ideas (slides also attached).

 

BTW, there are hands-on training sessions planned (1 scheduled for next week), to which you're all invited. I'll be posting the details here.

 

 

Enjoy..

Django workhop videos

 In the last conference of the Israeli Internet Association, there was a day-long Django workshop by one of its founders - Jacob Kaplan-Moss. It was intended for people new to Python & Django & I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to start learning Django.

 

Here's the full video of the workshop (slides are also available under each video).

 

 

Enjoy.

What can be learnt from major training companies list of courses

I saw an ad for a famous US consulting & training company, & went in to check their courses schedule. I was sure it will be mainly Java & J2EE courses & maybe some .Net & Flex.

 

This is what I found:

http://bignerdranch.com/schedule

 

Some Python & Django, a little Ruby, but almost all Mobile - iPhone, iPad & Android.

 

We'd better get ready for this trend, before it will be too late..

Confucius Task Manager

Introduction

Confucius Task Manager or simple Conficius. The idea is standing behind was to create an interactive, annoying, really annoying tool which is able to manage your life daily TODO list, makes sure you are making  progress in your current task, reminds you about your uncompleted work, and again makes sure and reminds you and, finally, rates you progress at end of the day.

 

How it works
