As Shawn says, the underlying HTML and CSS is probably a good place to start for an understanding of how the whole web system works. Django is what I would call a third generation web dev platform, with first gen being html/css via notepad or nvu/dreamweaver. Second generation would be the CMS mob: wordpress, joomla, drupal, etc. None of these will really help you witha lot of the other stuff you will need to know - web servers (apache, nginx, lighttpd), CGI, etc. If you are not a computer scientist or not planning on being one, and want simple: try wordpress. If you are planning on being a computer scientist of some description, learn html and css (and then move onto django). cheers L. -- Bacon ice cream (or Bacon-and-egg ice cream) is a modern invention in experimental cookery, generally created by adding bacon to egg custard and freezing the mixture. Although it was a joke in a Two Ronnies sketch, it was eventually created for April Fools’ Day. Heston Blumenthal experimented with the creation of ice cream, making a custard similar to scrambled eggs then adding bacon to create one of his signature dishes. It now regularly appears on dessert menus in high-end restaurants. from The Best of Wikipedia http://bestofwikipedia.tumblr.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
