Description

See how well Django and Backbone.js can complement each other, and learn a few best-practices for building dynamic web applications using these tools in concert.


Abstract

Django is a great tool for creating powerful database-driven web applications quickly. The ORM, form processing, the admin interface, and wealth of community applications make Django the right tool for a number of situations.

One thing that Django doesn’t do well is make it terribly easy to create highly-interactive, dynamic interfaces. There are solutions that people are working on. This talk will be about using Django with Backbone.js to help create these interfaces. Backbone.js is a Javascript framework that, in many ways, sees the world in the same way as Django. These two tools can complement each other nicely.
