Hello,
I just learnt Python last week and I'm currently reading the
Django tutorials. Coming from a Java background, I really really like
what I am seeing with Django. I just have a few questions though.
I just got a contract to build a web application. To be honest, in some
ways it is fairly similar to Basecamp which was built by 37signals. I'd
please like to know if Django is useful for this sort of project or if
it is mostly CMS type applications.
Also, a major snag here, the company wants me to use their database and
they've said it's SAP DB. I had no idea SAP had a database, I always
thought it was Oracle based. What a discovery. Anyway, I've found that
there are Python drivers for this database. I'm a big fan of ORM, so I
was wondering if Django's ORM will still work in this scenario. How can
I put this together while enjoying the work and finishing on time as
well.
Finally, does Django have helpers that output natural text. Like, I
think, Ruby (or rails?) can say stuff like "3 days ago" or "less than a
minute ago" and so on with respect to time. Does Django or Python have
similar libraries?
Thanks a lot. I want to build this app with Django. I know that way
I'll probably become very good at it. Thanks for your time.
