I'm hoping this is the right place to ask such questions, please forgive me if not.
I'm making a real time investment in learning another server side language. I have 10 years ColdFusion, 5 years PHP, JAVA. Having never touched Python let alone the framework Django, for the past 4 weeks I have been testing Django out. Darn, Raspberry Pi started me with my blog (http://www.glynjackson.org/blog/) I have to say its nice, however my concerns are now to do with the community and not so much with the framework itself. No one likes to back a loser and every time I search for Django community I'm faced with a host of negative posts. for example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2777883 Unlike other languages I'm active in and still use, I'm also finding it hard to find any user groups locally in the UK (I'm based in Manchester, UK). So from the community itself how alive is Django? Should I really invest the time to learn? Does it have a real future and please be honest. other questions.... 1) is this worth going? --- http://2013.djangocon.eu 2) who are the top blogs people within the Django community who should I be following, blogs feed etc. Sorry for the stupid questions, but and just want a new skillset that I can use for many years to come.
