Developed four years ago by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly. Django comes with an easy-to-understand templating engine, an Object-relational matter that lets you manipulate your database though interactions with python objects, and an autoconfigured admin interface. Bringing your laptop is recommended but not necessary.
