I put in the patch for the initial Django/Dojo mashup (Dojo is the JavaScript toolkit we're going to ship with Django) just the other day, and I've had a tarball of a modified Dojo-enabled Django admin app up for a while. Note, however, that this is not "AJAX integration" in the sense that Rails has it; we'll be including Dojo in Django and offering the admin app as an example of how you can take advantage of it to build useful JavaScript functionality into your own applications. There's been talk of a generic Django web-service system which would make it much easier to do remote JavaScript calls (or programmatic calls from any language, really), and when that's built in there will undoubtedly be a JavaScript library included with Django which can take advantage of it, but I don't think the extreme level of "AJAX integration" in Rails is something that would feel right in Django. > 4.

Writing tests for your own applications wouldn't be particularly hard, given the ease of testing in Python. > 5.

While I can't speak for the authors, I'd say it'll be a good long while after 0.92 is released when the book hits the shelves. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
