Untitled #3 david’s thoughts about Django & the future

Python better than C++ for Ancient History civilians

1996 1996: science (& web)

bow before greatness

mozilla messaging Random Experiences

One of those One ﬁt my brain, my style was sexy

From hacking to having fun

How django rocked my world Awesome CSS on The original noSQL djangoproject.com Admin UI sexy Docs! Small steps Well-designed for scaling to total addiction Adrian plays guitar, and sings too! Explained the web to me, Made me feel competent.

Django successes you may not know about ispdb.mozillamessaging.com addons.mozilla.org (at some point!)

Analysis of that success •understood the competition •abstracted common patterns •made them pythonic •made it sexy •made it easy •conﬁdently and modestly

Time to relax? nope.

In practice, django frustrates too! Validation Migrations Model rat-hole Admin UI not real for my sites Templates & Need clientside client-side code answers too! My needs moved faster than Django

Evolutionary Path? always be more pythonic

some years out Storm’s a brewin’

User Experience not technocrats drives the web

Identity AJAX Realtime Web

Normalization, Code ﬁrst, validation, typing, etc: then data YAGNI (never model) Embrace JavaScript Embrace the client noSQL & Django? How do they ﬁt?

Python vs. Attention economics are scary Javascript

Things look different the web is deeper outside the pipe

Flash Silverlight GWT ... sexy opaque closed Possible Future #1 “not so good”

Prepare for success •understand the competition •abstract common patterns •make them pythonic (maybe not Python!) •make it sexy •make it easy •conﬁdently and modestly

assume: strong browsers various types of data stores solve the hard leverage: problems: JS on server and client interactivity open web as platform privacy offline Possible Future #2 Will it be Django?

Mozilla Raindrop Not Django!

I’m hiring web-dev front-end dev enjoy the skiing! dascher@mozillamessaging.co
