I echo Gabe's sentiment almost verbatim: 1) Django is the right answer - an aside: I'm more interested in flask than the alternatives already discussed
2) make sure whatever you use (perl/python/java) find a good framework. If you're wasting time reinventing the wheel, you're wasting time. 3) webdev is so much better than it was X years ago (for me X is 5) 4) Django docs are awesome and I have yet in my (admittedly short, since 1.1-ish) time with Django had issue with feature deprecation. 5) You have to put time in to use something that makes your life easier. It's easier to `cp -R` backup your source than it is to learn git/hg, but I ain't going back any time soon :) -- Stephen M.
