I’ve finally gotten the ball rolling on one of the personal projects I’ve had in mind for a while now. Though I don’t want to divulge what that idea is at the moment (it’s not exactly mind-blowing or world-changing), I think it may be something folks in that particular niche may pay a small fee to utilize.
I’ve decided to implement this web application with the Django framework and PostgreSQL database backend. There isn’t any specific reason I chose this setup other than I haven’t used either of the two before and they’re something I’d like to get some experience with.
So far I’ve installed all the necessary components: the framework itself, the PostgreSQL server, mod_python, and psycopg2, setup the application database and successfully synced the framework with the database. I’ve also pencil-and-papered the outline of the models I intend to use. I haven’t run into any major issues with the initial parts so far which has made for a pleasant experience thus far, the only thing that has slowed me down are Googling for PostgreSQL commands as they are different than the mySQL ones I’m used to using.
Now I’m Getting Somewhere
