In my personal opinion, python is rather easy to learn (I tried a couple of other languages but had huge problems learning them). Also I find django pretty straight forward, so after learning the basics of python, the syntax etc, I'd say you can learn it by coding django. It'll be a bit hard in the beginning and your code will be buggy but that's the way you learn! I learned the basics of python in about a day and 'okay' python skills in about a month of casual coding. Now after a bit more than half a year I'd say I'm rather good at it, only learning from other code and online stuff. Jonas PS: I also highly recommend hopping into some IRC channels once you got some code which you need help with, usually there's helpful people on there (eg. #django or #python) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
