About a year ago I started learning python, after having stopped studying chemistry at the university of Copenhagen. A good friend of mine had started his own company, Reveal IT and I joined him as what you could call an apprentice. After getting the basics of python I started right away with Django. I can still remember the struggles I had in the beginning understanding stuff like HttpResponse, templates etc. Luckily he had a good learning project for me to work on, Djime, what was to be a Django based web app time tracker.

Much has happened the past year, I've not only learned Python and Django, but also HTML, CSS, JavaScript - jQuery, PHP, Drupal. I now spend most of my time working with Drupal, making websites for our clients. Something I never imagined myself doing, and having a lot of fun doing it. But I must admit, Django/Python is still very special to me being my first language and framework. Though I don't often have time to work on Djime anymore, I recently had some extra time which was spent on a re-factor of the Djime codebase. Under the codename Pine, we now have a working prototype of Djime integrated with Pinax. You can take a look at the code, at my djime github repo.

So doing all these fun things on the web, I decided it was about time for me to actually have a blog. I'll probably focus on writing about some of the things I do with the web, conquests, defeats and all that. Hopefully to help others, but if nothing more, then at least it can stand for me as a reminder.

But enough of this ranting, it's time for this, my first blog post ever to be published. On a side note, the site here will be evolving slowly, while I try to figure out some styles for this site.
