A recent study measured the productivity of using Python+Django vs. C#+ASP.NET, in terms of user-stories per week. The results are that 1 Django developer is equivalent to 2 ASP.NET developers, productivity-wise:
The Django team that participated in the benchmark, BTW, had no prior experience with Django, which probably implies that the difference can be even higher.
The next meeting of the local Django community will take place next monday at Google offices in Tel-Aviv, & you're all invited. The meeting will have lectures on the advanced Python equivalents to Maven & Ant, which are quite amazing & powerful. There will also be a Django tutorial & coding sessions.
I've written a tutorial on "Building an Enterprise Information System using Django" (see file attachments below), intended for both executives & developers. Based on it I gave a talk at Verint Systems, summarizing the main ideas (slides also attached).
BTW, there are hands-on training sessions planned (1 scheduled for next week), to which you're all invited. I'll be posting the details here.
I gave last week a talk on Non-relational databases in general & Cassandra in particular. Focussed on the advantages & cost/implications, to assist organizations in making a smart choice.
You're all invited to the 12th meeting of the local Django/Python user group, that will be held tomorrow (15-Feb) at the ISOC office in Petah -Tikwa. More details here:
