Django + js Framework

Question

I want to develop a web application using Django, but I can't decide which javascript framework to use. May be some of you guys has developed Django + JS Framework application? I personally prefer JQuery because it is easy and fast, but other libraries like Dojo has so cool features and widgets. That I want to switch to it! What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

My vote goes for pyjamas (which I use myself): http://pyjs.org/

It's basically a Python version of GWT. If you're already using Django, you might as well write your entire web-app in python and avoid having to maintain multiple languages.

Here is a quick Django + Pyjamas tutorial: http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/wiki/DjangoWithPyjamas

Don't get me wrong, I love jQuery, but having all my code in Python makes it a lot easier to maintain.

Answer 2

If you already have experience with jQuery, then go on with jQuery!

I use Django + jQuery + Postgresql for all my projects and couldn't be any happier with this powerful combination.

Answer 3

jQuery and Scriptaculous are good choices,
But if you want to develop desktop like functionality over the web Qooxdoo helps alot :-)
