Okay, So I just moved. I moved from the seedy underbelly of the inner city, into the trendy hipster neighborhood where I suddenly find myself leaving the door unlocked after I immediately enter the house. An odd sensation, but not a bad one. I still don't have blinks on my windows and all my stuff is right out there for everyone to see, yet I still do not find myself as concerned with it as I was carrying my groceries from Whole Foods in from the street at my prior residence. ... I mowed the yard the other day ... first time it wasn't such a chore.
Anyway ... I've begun development on a new top secret project. The main application is written in C for a massively distributed systems solution and a web interface to the system that I am using the Django Web Kit based in Python. This is my first stint into Python beyond using the Python interpretor for a fast calculator when on the CLI or a quick CLI client application for management consoles over local Unix Sockets. This is about all the experience I've had with Python up until now. I must say as a PHP developer this is a very different world. In the 1 day I've been messing with it I've already written most of the core framework including front-end html. I really love the ability to layout the database design and define the relations and in a single command have SQL built or a database synchronization to occur immediately. I love this application already!
Anyway this application will have some cool stuff involved with it including external API communications and export features. Which I'm sure Django will be able to handle in short order.
