Updates

Man, I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had any time to work on Coaster. I haven’t even really had much time for anything other than work. Although I’ve had fun doing it, it’s been hectic.

Most of my time lately has been spent working on converting Master Packing’s current website over to Django so we can quickly develop new applications and easily edit content. I’ve been very impressed with Django’s infrastructure and API, and I’m even more impressed with how the next version is shaping up to look like. They’ve changed it so that a lot of the “magic” is gone and the API is improving. 1.0 should be sweet.

I’ve also been working with the Dojo javascript toolkit as well. It’s a pretty neat toolkit that is pretty powerful. I like how dojo.io.bind works for AJAX requests. They also have dojo.event.connect that works kind of like glib’s event connecting. The documentation is on the bare side (as in, not much at all), but that’s being worked on.
