I can certainly sympathize; back in my freelance days I enjoyed writing Python and fell in love with Django after its initial release, but PHP and Perl were paying my bills so I was pretty much stuck for a while. My advice to you, and to anyone else in your situation, would be to not give up -- even if you're still mostly working with, say, PHP, keep working with Django or other frameworks when you get the chance. When you have some spare time, write applications you're interested in and tell the community about them, and you never know what sorts of opportunities might turn up. And even if you never land a professional gig out of it, the experience will make you a better and more well-rounded programmer, and in time that'll get you progressively better jobs no matter what languages or tools you end up working with it. Also, remember that this list sees an increasing number of job offers, and there's a spot on the wiki (the "DevelopersForHire" page) where Django-oriented freelancers and companies can offer their services for hire and Django-oriented employers can list jobs they want to fill. Keep an eye on that and don't be afraid to get in touch with people and start building up contacts in the community -- opportunities will come to folks who put themselves in the right place at the right time ;) -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
