I think people got off on the wrong foot. It's perfectly normal to confuse CMS and Framework.
Django is not a CMS but you can build a powerful, no-fluff CMS with it. From personal experience, it's worth learning enough Python to build upon Django. And that beats working with Joomla (which I find horrid) because you can just use what you need. And about integrating with social networks, you'll find that many people have already developed applications that you can easily use to integrate in your project. That's one of the beauties of Django. I have to say, people have different reasons for picking different frameworks. I have always been a bit unsure of which one to learn - CodeIgniter (PHP), Ruby on Rails, etc. - but my main motivation was the awesome admin that comes ready for you, just waiting for a few lines of code. And session/user management is already there for you as well. Let's just say that for using a CMS you don't need that much experience with programming and that by using a framework you need to know the basics of what you're doing. But, again, Django/Python is very easy :-) Start by checking the official tutorial, then read the online manual. Here are some interesting resources: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/intro/tutorial01/ http://www.djangobook.com/ http://www.djangoplugables.com/ http://www.djangosnippets.org/ Hope that helps with your decision :-) Cheers, Fred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
