under /core/views.py add:

def index():
pass

This should be the on the django website.

Is exactly what I was looking for! ))

Thanks.

What did I do wrong?

best regards,

If you use Symfony or other framework for PHP, then fine there’s nothing wrong with that. I like PHP because of it’s resemblance to C/C++ because I originally learnt those languages. But there are some glaring deficiencies which become highlighted when you try to use it for web applications.

Don’t get so defensive about PHP, no one’s saying that PHP is useless. It just has certain weaknesses which make python a more viable language and platform for certain applications.

As for rails, I’m still not entirely convinced. Ruby + Rails is definitely harder to learn than Python and Django because it’s inherently more implicit. There are a _lot_ more conventions which need to be learned in order to use them effectively. My view on RoR however is not authoritative, just my personal experience.

I agree that if you could update the tutorial for Google app engine you would get overwhelmed with traffic,, I’ve been working for days to get to a simple blog example using the Google App engine patch.. Since it combines so many differences none of the tutorial info really works.

There are no tutorials for getting a basic blog engine up and going using Django on Google app engine and only two “examples” as of now, one in Chinese and one which leaves out all the css/js so neither is a great starting point.

Why not broaden your horizons rather than sticking with what you know? I know PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python (w Django), C# .NET and a bit of Java.

I can tell you now that all these languages have their pros and cons and I like each for my own reasons! Use whatever is applicable to the job!

Companies dont hire developers versed in only 1 language these days! They expect you have to have a much broader knowledge! So all you “I only use PHP or I only use Python” people out there, you are only shooting yourselves in the foot!

On a side note! Good tut for newcomers to Django! Well done!

I mean I’m sure there are, just curious as to what they are and why writing code in Perl would be necessary to access them.
