I am going to attend the first DjangoCon in a couple weeks. Sorry if you have heard about this too late, all the spots are taken. The Django 1.0 release party is still open, however.

Django has been great to use. It's a huge leap from how I used to have to do data-backed Web sites. It does the same things Rails does but for a Python environment, which I prefer.

I look forward to meeting other django-heads for the first time since I started using it. I'm sure I can learn a lot.
