Finding a developer
I have been planning to implement my backend server in Django/Python but I am still in the early phases. I thought I ought to look into Ruby on Rails as well. The technical articles comparing them come out pretty even. It appears that there is perhaps three times as much RR activity out there as Django/Python. I am doing prototype work myself right now, but I will need professional help eventually. That led me to my question. Is it easier to find a Django developer or a Rails developer? Despite there being more activity around Rails, the availability of developers may not follow. Also, is there any difference in cost?

Heroku.com experiences?
Thanks for the pointer. That's one of the nicest sites I have ever seen. It makes me want to work with them. Could people out there describe their experiences working with this company? My needs are low volume, but very high reliability, security and availability. And of course, ease of use for ME.

RE: Developing first Django Site -- any advice on co-developing effectively with a professional?
I am in much the same situation, Michael. How did you go about finding a good consultant?

Dear Django community, I'm excited to develop my first site in Django and am trying understand the best way to approach things. I don't have a strong coding background, but I'm comfortable with the tutorial, ~3 hours of screencasts, and "Beginning Django E-Commerce" by James McGaw. Designed the database and coded the model layer myself... hiring a designer for the front-end work, and hiring a django developer to co- develop via github. Worked out the development roadmap and features needed for launch (below). My goal is to develop 30-50% myself with feedback/review from the professional, with them coding the rest and me learning from their code. Has anyone tried something similar before? Any concerns or advice on partnering effectively? Our feature list is below, with hourly estimates from the developer. I've starred those I'm aspiring to code myself. Also interested in whether we can leverage existing code/libraries to solve some of these challenges.

I kind of like that suggestion. I just finished refactoring that way. It has the effect of putting the admin and browse stuff with the data model which makes sense to me.

Dumb newbie question
I'm well into beginning building my actual app after going through the tutorial, but I have no feel yet for the answer to this question. Can apps share a set of models? My application neatly divides into three pieces, but all the pieces share the same data. Should these be 3 apps or 1? Can apps freely share access to data models?

RE: Django setup on Win7 - can't import some things
I'm now on the 1.2 tutorial, but a similar error message is coming up. The
urls.py file is
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from polls.models import Poll
info_dict = {
'queryset': Poll.objects.all(),
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', info_dict),
The error message is
ViewDoesNotExist at /polls/
Could not import polls.views.django.views.generic.list_detail. Error was: No
module named django.views.generic.list_detail
List_detail is clearly there in the django/generic folder.

Hi Bob,
It sounds like you're using the 1.3 or later version of the tutorial.
Class-based generic views were added in 1.3. Try this link for the correct
version:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/intro/tutorial01/

Hope that helps,
