Review of “Learning Website Development with Django”

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing around with Django.  Because of that, I’ve been looking at a few different books on the subject.  I first started out with the Django Book, which took me a few days to read.  I can’t say I absorbed it all, but I got the general idea.  Then […]

Website usability annoyance no. 1

When you do a search, and you click on a deep page.  The website makes you login, which you do begrudgingly. Where do they take you? To your home page.  Do they even offer to send you to the page you were looking for? Almost never. Come on, guys & girls.  That’s just too easy…
