Re: Creating websites like Amazon/Ebay using Django

[Jisson Varghese]

well Django is suitable for web application development.
Django uses Python for serverside
Mysql is a good choice as Database.In a web app database stores user
credentials,sessions,and items,its price(in your case).
I suggest SQlalchemy (ORM).
first try with djnago orm (models),then shift to sqlalchemy.
learn basics of Html,javascript,ajax,jquery,I recommand
www.w3schools.com(for a beginner).

Re: Creating websites like Amazon/Ebay using Django

[Alec Taylor]

I'm great at design, at the level of i.e. Balsamiq Mockups.

It just takes me too long to build it from scratch in CSS+HTML+JS to
get from wireframe to proper design.

I am building it from satchmo as base, but am looking for other
libraries to integrate in order to be DRY-er.

Reuse FTW!

But I think if I can just separate satchmo out enough, it will be
easily integratable with other Django (and Python) libraries.

Re: Creating websites like Amazon/Ebay using Django

[Andre Terra]

I'll refrain from repeating what the others have said, so I'll just say I
wholeheartedly agree.

Having said that, a project like this requires *extensive* knowledge of
HTML/JS/CSS in order to be successful, as someone pointed out. With that in
mind, I recommend you find a partner with front end experience that can
design the website from scratch.

While Django and Python are great tools, they are also more...
"objective"... than HTML and CSS, so usually bashing your head against a
programming problem will eventually yield a solution, whereas you can't
easily teach someone how to design beautiful *and* intuitive UI/UX. It's a
long process that requires a "creative" side that not all of us have.

Not that Django is a bad choice - it's not, its a great choice - but
it is largely irrelevant what language you implement your ideas in.
Some will be more appropriate than others, and if your idea is
successful, it is likely that you will need to rewrite/re-engineer
your site.

For example, Amazon was initially written in C++/Perl scripts, Twitter
started out using RubyOnRails and a Ruby messaging queue, Facebook
used to be written in PHP but it was so slow they wrote a PHP -> C++
compiler.

Django is an excellent choice, because it is precise, has clear
documentation and doesn't restrict what you can do with it.

Cata

as also Denis told you I just wanted to make sure, that you know
this will be some hard years for you.

I wish you good luck on your product.
Maybe you first go with satchmo learn and improve 
than you can start off with configuring things to your needs.

Would be great to welcome you at satchmo project.

good luck

Great ! Thanks everyone for the response. Django is the way to go then.

@ionic drive :- Not sure as it's just in the initial stage. I will have to
set aside time for this one.

You can consider to use django-lfs: http://www.getlfs.com/

or satchmo: http://www.satchmoproject.com/

but without basic knowledge of django, it's going to be very hard for you.

Hi cata,

Sounds great your plans. Django is exactly suitable for your needs.
How many years are you going to investigate into the project?

source solutions for shops:

Re: Creating websites like Amazon/Ebay using Django

[Joey Espinosa]

Cata,

Yes, Django is exactly suited for this scenario. The structure of Django
allows you to create scalable, flexible sites with the freedom to expand
the database as needed without having to worry about messing with the code
so much in order to do so.

That being said, I'd HIGHLY recommend you get familiar with JS and HTML.
While Django can provide you the backend foundation for your sites, you
need HTML (and likely JS as well) on the front end to present your backend
data. In fact, I'd say that's (HTML) extremely important, because it's the
part that's going to interact directly with your customer base. It can
easily make or break your site, regardless of how good your backend code is.

Hope this helped.
