I’m a total noob at Django, and I’m just starting out to play on my own without the help of tutorials and guides. It goes so so, but it sure is a lot of fun.

Django is well documented but I think that the latest stable version lacks tutorials! Since Django now is quite old (in hype terms, that is) not nearly as much people is producing tutorials any more. I’m awaiting the update of James Bennett’s book Practical Django Projects.

By the way, how cool and out of the way isn’t this minimal and thought through design?

Morning
During my morning, I got hooked by this airplane painted cross on an otherwise clear sky.

Today I’ve been going through Django’s tutorials, and I’ve set up my local environment.
To me, it is a pretty steep learning curve just to fully understand all of the stuff that I’m learning through the tutorials.

After the tutorials I installed support for OpenID, using django_openidconsumer. Problem was, that it didn’t work as expected. After I searched a while, I recognized that it used maxlength instead of max_lenght. Then I read the discussions on django_openidconsumer, and of course, someone had already posted a patch to fix it. Sweet 🙂

Tomorrow I’m heading towards Gotland together with Sanna. I’m looking forward to it, but I probably won’t be able to work upon TLW until next Wednesday.
