Django/DB4O Continues

Hi Folks – I have read that it is considered poor form to make a post on your blog that does nothing more than promise that you will post soon. It is also considered poor form to apologize for not posting. Still, that is why I am writing today.

I live in Ottawa, Canada. We are currently experiencing a bus strike – traffic is a nightmare. Some people are reporting that it it is taking up to four times longer to get to work and home. My experience is similar. Combine that with the Christmas season, and my time for blogging and coding is drastically reduced.

Still, I can see that many of you continue to visit. You are eagarly waiting for continued information on my progress with DB4O and Django running in Jython. Last month, I received blog visits from 411 cities in 69 different countries.  I am proud to report that 57% of you are using the Firefox browser – only 21% are using Internet Explorer. As an aside, I was surprised to see that 6% of you are using Chrome.

So, my friends, if you can forgive me – I will contnue the work soon. And, I am sorry for not blogging. All the best. I am not writing, but I am developing and tinkering – the work continues.

Learn Python, Why Don’t You?

Since I have been writing about Jython, a version of Python implemented on the JVM, I thought I would provide a link to some Python resources for Java programmers who are using DB4O: Learn Python, why don’t you?

If you like what Java has to offer in terms of class libraries, but you like the Python language and its idioms, then Jython is the best of both worlds.

To prepare for my next installments on Jython, Django and DB4O, read about introspection in Python.
