Getting Started Again...

Ok. Time to get started.

Now leaving my job - so now it's time to get serious. I last did web development back in 1995 (I know, how sad is that). So it's time to re-train. Fortunately I've had enough time to try to get re-acquainted with the modern world. Lots of choices, lots of technology, lots of interesting stuff to waste time on.

So we're making a consumer-oriented web service to engage a population that isn't being well served today. Lots of frameworks to pick from: Rails, Java, Django, PHP, etc... Gotta review them quickly and pick one. Went with Django - primarily because it seems pretty straightforward/simple, it appears to scale well, but also because years ago I did enough Python to feel good about using it.

So Django it is... But that's just the first question. What about UI frameworks? What about databases? Answers to come later I guess.
