Re: Django for a front end designer

Thank you all for your advices. I started with the beginners guide from the python official site because i think i should learn at least the basics of python before move into django. What you advice after i complete the beginners guide?Should i pick one of my designs and try to "pythonize" it?

Re: Django for a front end designer

I don't think it's necessarily a choice between learning php or learning python. Most programming languages are fairly similar in concept, and once you've mastered one it's reasonably easy to pick up a new one. Python is a great language, but I think it's especially great as a first language.

RE: Django for a front end designer

I think many of the members of this group have a pro-python bias for a good reason. Most of us have had to work with many other frameworks and languages and Python is the only one I would use to "unwind". Sometimes it's worth "paying your dues" -- You received this message because you are

Re: Django for a front end designer

I came into Django as a designer. It can be done, just take baby steps. The more python you learn, the happier you'll be, and the more productive. But in the mean time, you can do a lot with generic views and reusable apps that would keep you from having to write much code at all. I would suggest

If you are thinking about diving into PHP, I suggest you read this first: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2006/02/17/PHP It's five years old, but it contains a lot of links to pro- and anti- PHP rants, which you should consider. (Consider also that there's no good Unicode support inside

Re: Django for a front end designer

I personally learned python without any previous programming knowledge. TBH, I used to write scripts for mIRC, so I knew *some* very basic things, but be certain I had to rewire my entire brain to think like a real programmer. I'm now on my third django project and while my developing speed has

Re: Django for a front end designer

Well I am trying to avoid PHP at all costs. Maybe im thinking it the wrong way, but after tweaking a wordpress theme, PHP seems very "ugly" and "unreadable" to me. I also developed some kind of mental block about PHP and I know for sure that if I have to learn it I will hate every second of

Thank you all for the advices/sugestions. For what i read most of you advice on PHP + framework and i can understand that. I looked at django and rails as a option for me to have. My PHP knowledge is very limited, and sometimes i need some functionality on a wordpress site or on a textpattern one

Re: Django for a front end designer

Hi there, For building dynamic websites, I'd say you should learn a language like PHP or Python. Yep. For working with Django you definitely need to know Python. Something like WordPress has a very different and narrower set of intentions behind its design than does Django. WordPress is

Re: Django for a front end designer

Difficult to say really. If your main focus is to be a designer, and not to be a full on programmer, then I'd say you are probably best sticking with wordpress. If you don't really have a main focus, or you have some spare time, then defo take some time to learn python+django. I would strongly

Go for it. It will require you to learn to program, but if you're up for it then that's awesome. If you do the tutorial and read the following wiki page I'm sure you'll find plenty of helpful people on this list. https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UsingTheMailingList Shawn -- You received
