Django / [ $Place_your_favourite_Web_development_framework_here ] advocacy.
by Martin Chiteri 31 Jan '12

Hi guys, Here is some Django advocacy by one of its users [ http://www.pythondiary.com/blog/Jan.30,2012/developing-website-using-django…] I just wanted to get people's opinions on why they think the tools they use are the best. Of special interest is the PHP and also the .NET fellows. The thing is, I used to be a PHP zealot but now I have come to really appreciate a full-blown and very mature framework like django. Am not saying its the best. There are other ones like Pylons (now Pyramids) that are really powerful, or Flamework (for Flickr.com and actually written in PHP). Generally, some devs think that django is just well thought out and allows coders to really focus on the little things that really matter. What do you think? Martin.

Dynamic Media Content
by Tech List Kenya 31 Jan '12

Hello guys, I dont know whether this already exists but I have been thinking about it. Let me give my definition of @subject By dynamic media, I mean audio and video media that dynamically changes based on several parameters. Kinda like IVR (You have + $balance + shillings in your account). The $balance is retrieved dynamically from a db. Now, what I have in mind is like IVR on steroids. Think about a song that changes its lyrics based on your location, spouses name, time of day, etc. For instance instead of 'Wasee tumetoka githurai' it becomes 'Wasee tumetoka $residence' where residence can be read from, e.g. google maps Media will be more relevant to time and place and mood. No more listening to Thank God its Friday on a Tuesday. Or running into problems for playing My President is Black despite having a white president. Seriously though, think about the specialised advertising, personalised audio and visual, etc. What does it take to build such?
