We were talking about things that we wish we had known before while developing for Django the other day in IRC. I proclaimed that we should write them down somewhere. So I'm writing a post to get this effort started. Please feel free to leave comments with your own tips and tricks, and I'll compile them in some kind of good fashion. These are mostly just pointers, and not full-blown writeups, just more of a ...

High Scalability - Building bigger, faster, more reliable websites. (116)

This is a useful post by Frank Mashraqi, Director of Business Operations & Technical Strategy for a top 50 website that delivers billions of page views per month. Since scalability is considered a non-functional requirement, it is often overlooked in the hopes of decreasing time to market. Adding scalability down the road can decrease the time to market but only after assuming significant technical debt. Balancing performance and scalability vs. fast iteration and cost efficiency ...

When I was on the high school debate team, about 15 years ago, using the Internet was considered strange, if not cheating. We used photocopy machines, print magazines and academic journals almost exclusively. That time in the world's history is now gone forever. When Sarah Palin and Joe Biden debated in front of one of the largest TV audiences in US election history last week, they might not have been Googling things during the debate, ...

Those who follow this blog have likely heard me mention it, but for those who haven’t, I have a recently published article in Python Magazine titled “Django at 30,000ft: A Manager’s View”. The impetus for the article was needing to convince my boss that Django was, in fact, awesome. The resulting article is something I’m [...]

So we’ve been pushing live some changes the last few days over at iBegin. The biggest one is our brand new Django-powered website. The reason I bring this up, is to show all the haters out there, that Django really can scale well if you’ve designed your architecture properly from the get-go. We haven’t been able [...]

Via BlackBook, we were reminded of the existence of 12-year-old Tavi, maintainer of occasionally hyped style blog Style Rookie. Despite our better instincts, we find the precocious Twiggy lookalike rather charming (though we find ourselves worrying about her habit of posting post-midnight!), and we're not alone. And now we’ve grown to love her even more. Rather than complacently accept her position as the undisputed princess of underage sartorial scribes, Tavi has begun lobbying for her ...

Now that Apple has removed the iPhone NDA, which prevented developers from talking about the nuts and bolts of their iPhone apps, a number of tutorials have started to trickle on to the web. One of the best we’ve seen is Matt Long’s simple, easy-to-follow write-up on developing a basic iPhone application. For those of you more inclined to video tutorials, Long also has a nice video walk through available as well. Keep in mind ...

I'm getting a lot of questions lately about the use of MapReduce: how it compares with other technologies such as Grid, and how the the different solutions that claims support for MapReduce (GigaSpaces included) fit into the puzzle. A good starting point is the intense discussion on the cloud computing mailing list under the topic: "Is Map/Reduce going mainstream?" where I contributed some of my own thoughts on the topic. To summarize the questions on ...

Although it usually requires some adaptation, Python makes implementing most of the GoF design patterns trivial. In some cases, they're actually part of the core language; in most of the others, they're a lot simpler in Python than C++ et al. Here I have implemented examples of the following common design patterns in Python: * Iterator * Decorator * Abstract factory * Factory * State * Template Bookmark this on Delicious - Saved by csantos ...
