William, Oh I thought that's what was meant. I did that.
Yes yes but I think I am all set up with Django from what you saw in the other discussion. I should google coding bat? I have worked with some of this stuff in my engineering classes but would it really help to learn more Python first? Django is structured with Python but I had the impression that that was in the backend that I would never see that. I'm all ears!!! What I thought was the best was what I was seeing about the ease of working with content in databases.
