Django | The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines, presented by Erin Carter

Erin will discuss the benefits on using Django for application development from all possible viewpoints. From designer to developer, programmer to content manager, even stakeholders.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Developed four years ago by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.

Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle.
