Help me develop a Job Tracker (?)

Hi, maybe first, a few things about me: I have no experience in websites / django. I have a background in scientific computing and I especially enjoy using python. I did some GUI programming in .NET and SQL. So here is my project: I want to develop a 'Job Tracker' (approx. like an Issue Tracke

Re: Help me develop a Job Tracker (?)

Ok, so I set up the FormWizard, but it has some strange side effects. I implemented the process in three steps: 1. Choose a workflow 2. Specify information for the new Job (Adress, deadline, customer...) 3. Review deadlines and assigness for the different steps. Problems occur in the th
