Hello, I wouldn't say that Django is not suitable for web development. Even when someone says it's not, it's just an opinion, but in general, Django is framework for web development.
A1: Django has many batteries included. Database access through object relational model and form processing are just two parts from whole bunch. Checkout the documentation for latest stable version of Django https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ A2: I admit that I don't know exactly what CGI means, but you actually can deploy Django using FastCGI. I'm using WSGI, which is recommended method right now. Please checkout documentation for more details https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/deployment/fastcgi/ A3: I believe you can. Do you know pinterest.com, disgus.com, instagram.com? They're all written in Django. Please checkout the homepage of Djangoproject for more https://www.djangoproject.com/ (column Sites using django) or directly http://www.djangosites.com. Some of these sites have source code available. My conclusion is: Django is suitable for web development. It's a great project with perfect documentation and community. Checkout the tutorial, it's really helpful https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/ Cheers, Tom Dne středa, 10. října 2012 7:24:26 UTC+2 Sarbjit singh napsal(a): > > First of all, I am very sorry for asking this basic question.
