I found my mountain

A few months ago I read a post about the future of AMFPHP and decided to start looking for alternate back-end solutions that I want to explore and implement in future productions. PYAMF quickly crystallized as the best candidate. I am especially impressed by the speed of data-transfer that this solution promises.

As I was already playing around with my pyamf installation, I saw that the new (and very impressive) site of the National Film Board of Canda is built on the very same technology. But there is another component, Django. Since I, admittedly have close to no experience to working with Python, I am really starting from scratch. Taking it one step at a time. So far I am through setting up Python, mod_python and installing django itself. So now I am setting up my very first Django app.
Once I have wrapped my head around the basics of the wonderful world of Python and Django, then the time will have come to integrate that new knowledge with pyamf. I will be posting my progress in easily digestible pyamf tutorials (with a touch of django), since I see that there is a desperate lack there-off so far. I do not mean to step on any toes over on pyamf.org, but the documentation/tutorial section leaves a thing or two to be desired. So, at least for me, the initial learning curve seems rather steep to me.

But then again, that’s just me…
