What is Django and why I love it?
Django is the High level python Web framework for the rapid web development. Django is based on the MVC ie Model View Controller (actually the developer of the Django calls it MTV ie Model Template View).
While Ruby on Rails(ROR) was the subject of the discussion among the web developers, Django was developed to make the web development easy with the power of the python. The framework is highly inspired by the features of the Ruby on Rails, but it should be mentioned that it’s not the port of the ROR for python. Django has its own descent architecture and design. As per my experience Django is more Productive and scalable than the RoR. So its true for me too that if ruby is on rails then the Python is on jet. An excellent comparison between the Django and Rails in terms of the performance is available at wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Framework+Performance.
An up-to-date list of dozens of sites that use Django is located at code.Djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoPoweredSites.
