The latest web development stack

Mon, 3 November, 2008

I've been using a new web development stack

    For web technologies:
  • Django - A nice framework. After some work, I've learned how to leverage URL's and templating, without the cruft of models, and without the admin module.
  • jQuery - dang, this is a time-saver. Just learn it.
    And for editing:
  • Vim - Omni-complete is perfect for web development - it closes my HTML tags and intelligently suggests CSS keys and appropriate values. Also, I've learned how to use the :mksession to preserve an editing layout.
  • ies4linux under Wine to test IE6 concurrently with Firefox.
  • dwm - I fought with Awesome 3 long enough to jump ship. dwm does everything I want, and nothing more.
