While on my quest for a proper framework, which in the end I would like to use all the time, I stumbled upon django.

“Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.”

This is how they describe the project. And quite correctly that is.

While trying to figure out if I would like to use the framework, and interested to use the power of python together with web development, I got my hands on a project, which would be using django all the way.
Knowing no django at that point, I started learning the framework, and amazingly enough, the day thereafter I started the project, and everything worked from the start, currently, the project houses 2 apps, about 5000 lines of code, and everything is still working fine, clear, etc…

As I am implementing the new template system, I found that I spent more time using the version control than coding the actual project (!)

Why this post was started is simple: As from this moment, I’ll be writing frequently about django, and python. Because those are the things that my interests catches the most at the moment!

So, the android stuff hasn’t been posted often in the past year. Granted, the website did get most of its traffic because of these posts, but not quite the traffic I wanted, and I only wish to write about things I know sufficient of.
Android is developing so fast, and on so much different items, that it is becoming nearly impossible for only one person to keep track of it all, without spending a full-time job on it…
Does that make me less interested in Android? NO, it’s just so that I’m no authority on the subject, and there’s currently a whole bunch of websites/blogs doing a better job at reporting the events than I ever did.

Anyhow, this is the era of python in codercpf.be, I hope you guys are ready for it!

Until next post, CPF_

PS: As some of you (probably no one, except for google bot) noticed, I’ve changed hosting. Losing a lot in the progress (I hate moving!)
I’m currently being hosted at www.webfaction.com , which also allows for django, pylons, etc… projects to be hosted on the site!
Therefore, please expect some of my projects online here, and as it is, I’m going to make you guys some projects you just can’t ignore!

Hi @ everyone and nice to be somewhat back.

The site has been through some movement, and thanks to that, the previous loadFoO was lost in the process.

This time though, I’ve got a design from pikanai.com, called Simple beauty. I ported it on wordpress as usual, and if any of you wish for the files, please ask. I will make sure you get them ;)

Also, please give the opinion, it’s highly appreciated.

Anyhow, this’ll be my leave for a while again.

PS: Keep It Simple, Sexy ;)

For today (and of course the previous days of inactivity) I’ve got a quote, which I really liked:

“Windows is a 32 bit extension and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can’t stand 1 bit of competition.”

Beat that!

Sorry for the late idleness, I’ve been quite busy elsewhere.

Nonetheless, there’s some nice work going on with the android platform, again. This time someone has published his current work status in creating a Netbeans plugin to emulate the Android OS.

Screenshots are found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/joerg.ruethschilling/AndroidPluginForNetbeans

I’m definitely using that one when it’s out there, I’m a Netbeans user myself, so working with eclipse isn’t really my style (works though).

UPDATE
As it is, I just read that the android plugin for netbeans will never come to an end. Apparantly,  google licensing prevents the SDK to be used in another IDE than eclipse.

I’m sorry to everyone, but that’s just the way it is. Too bad though, because android on netbeans would’ve been really fast and powerfull…

Here’s a picture of someone getting detention for running firefox… http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/1197784327416.png

How about that? We all seem to love internet explorer too much ^^

LoadFoO is becoming bigger every second, just minutes ago I fixed up the xhtml 1.0, while I discovered that the sidebar was not widget-friendly (Big mistake), also, the 0.1 version contains wrong files. So, anyone (If someone) who has already downloaded 0.1 version -> dump it, and get the 0.2 version now…

At any rate, the next thing (again) would be to make it valid. I’ve currently got 8 errors on the index, all thanks to the widgets… It’s likely that I’m going to have to fix up some widgets for this, any author of that widget will be contacted if there would be any update, and the updates will be available for download here soon.

Ok, the previous post is outdated already, LoadFoO wordpress theme is now 100% valid w3c code (xhtml 1.0 transitional). I’m thinking of making it xhtml 1.1, but that’s for later. The file is still found at www.codercpf.be/dls/loadfoo-0.1.zip.

Please comment as much as possible, and use at will, it’s gpl after all.

Many thanks to the original designer again!!

I’m proud to finally announce the new design – LoadFoO.

LoadFoO was originally developed by Devit Schizoper as an open source design.

I liked what it might become here, and asked permission to create a wordpress template out of it, which permission I got if – of course – I leave the credits intact.

So, Enjoy the first template version, still not 100% valid, but it’s a start, I’m going to w3c it soon!

Also, the template is downloadable here. The template is originally based on the default template, so forgive me if not all the files render correctly. The 1.0 version will solve it all!

The creator of DroidDraw is certainly busy, for he published another tutorial concerning how-to in certain graphical aspects of Android.

This time, it’s about how Android widgets work. Be sure to read it, it’s literally a 2 minute read to knowing the deal with Android widgets, great summary.

I’ve mentioned droiddraw earlier in this blog.

Since then, the developer of the only gui building program for android at the moment has been quite busy, and been following “Release early, release often” cycles.

He’s also made a tutorial on how to use the gui builder, certainly worth your time!

I’m expecting a great deal from this gui builder in the near future, let’s all prepare ^^
