Re: Is django framework feasible for developing online LMS?

I second nginx, just because of the config files are much simpler and
easier to understand, once I started using it I never considered using
apache again.
personally I like postgres, I wouldn't suggest mysql because it doesn't
support ACID, but I can understand people have different tastes

I personally like uwsgi, the killer feature is the reloading, you can
update your code and tell uwsgi to reload the code, it won't close the TCP
connections, meaning that any requests that come in the meantime will wait
instead of failing.

good luck

if you are planning to use a long opened connexion, you can 
check http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ it is easy, and you gonna like 
it, and it dont need a long learning curve, it has a templating engine like 
django.
so, good luck :)

Re: Is django framework feasible for developing online LMS?

[Krishnakant Mane]

I will recommend Django as the best for this kind of work.
There is Meta studio which does exactly that and it is developed in Django.
I suggest you go to www.gnowledge.org and see if you can find a link to 
the said project.

happy hacking.

If you are already familiar with python it is worth to use a python based
framework over something else you are not familiar with.
But this is only one piece of the puzzle, you still need a deployment
server, database and client side to worry about at least

The nine months I spent working on a Sakai project were among the very 
worst of my professional development career. And it's virtually a dead 
project now. Now I'm working part-time on a large Moodle installation and 
finding it incredibly frustrating. You know how they say PHP has a tendency 
toward sprawling spaghetti code? Moodle feels like the poster child for 
that tendency. It's badly written, badly documented, the community is full 
of people taking wild guesses, plugins are half-baked, and lots of people 
are hacking core to make it do what they need it to do.

A lot of the complexity and mess in these products comes from their need to 
be all things to all people. Everything is overly abstracted, and 90% of 
the features you'll never use. Meanwhile you bear the brunt of all that 
baggage and complexity. I am currently lobbying the .edu I work for to 
replace a Moodle installation with a custom Django system that will do 
exactly the things we need it to do and nothing more. To discard the 
complexity and baggage and replace it with clean data modeling and known 
workflows that aren't "black box." Case in point: I spent around a month 
getting the Moodle course enrollment system to behave with a PHP script. 
Then I wrote a similar one for a separate Django system on the side. The 
Django version worked the first time and was literally 1/0 the size, in 
lines of code.

Frameworks may all have roughly the same features, but that doesn't mean 
they're equally effective to work in. Some frameworks are just better 
designed than others, or feel more intuitive, or have a better ecosystem, 
etc. In my opinion, the choice of a framework and its ecosystem is far more 
important than the particular language it's in. I love Python, but I love 
Django even more (IOTW I'd choose Django for what it is even if it wasn't 
written in Python). Django makes complex feature development easy, compared 
to other systems I've worked with.

Re: Is django framework feasible for developing online LMS?

[Ari Davidow]

I am curious as to why you would write an LMS from scratch, rather than use
an existing framework--edX uses Django and that code is open-sourced and
available. Other open source possibilities, not relying on Django, include
Moodle and Sakai.

Creating a professional environment that supports the presentation of
materials to students, appropriately controls access, facilitates
discussion, and facilitates grading (not to mention supports creation,
editing, presentation of quizzes and other smaller learning elements) is
messy. You could easily end up putting a lot of your client's time and
money into re-inventing and re-discovering the already-extant.

May be worth looking at how existing OS LMS's work, reviewing the client's
needs from that perspective, looking at what would get you to an initial
release most easily and sustainably, and then deciding on platform.

There is basically no difference between any web framework in terms of
features, so pick whichever one you want that is in the language you
know or wish to learn.

As to whether you can build  in , it would
be a pretty bad  if you cannot build whatever  you want in it.

Is django framework feasible for developing online LMS?

LMS covers online course and learning system.
