No, this approach is quite normal for an AJAX-heavy RIA. Templates make writing the HTML portion of your site easier, but if your sites are, as you say, almost entirely JavaScript-based, then I'd think it very natural not to use templates much. I have been building web apps for a while, but only recently have I begun to use much JavaScript. I use templates quite a bit, and find they make my life easier, but I'm only adding jQuery plug-ins, so more of my front-end code is HTML than JavaScript. However, I have found some utility in using various template tags within my JavaScript. > > ----(2)---- > Another question that I have is - is it usual to have no major > architecture in the web coding? > I am very much worried that I am missing something major and it is > going to blow up in my face later.

Thus, a lot of the stuff you'd have to do that would otherwise emerge as a pattern in web architecture is already built in to Django. The other nice part is that Python itself has little need for programmers to use design patterns, as the language has been designed to address the flaws that make design patterns necessary. Iterators are part of the language, a singleton is a module of functions, etc. As Thomas said, "Welcome to python and django". ---Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
