After reading an interesting article on Erlang and Java interoperability, I have decided to dedicate my spare time to Erlang.
O’Reilly has just published a wonderful book on Erlang, so I decided to dive into it.

At Gioorgi.com we have used plenty of web frameworks.
Giovanni Giorgi used Seaside, a lot of PHP frameworks, Java Struts, RubyOnRails, and Python Django.
We have started to look for Web2Py, a compact, easy to learn python web framework.
From the most notable feature, it runs also on Google App Engine. Written by an Italian University professor for teaching web development, spots a very clean design, and a robust security infrastructure. We suggest it because installation (and upgrading) is a snap.
Let’s take a look to it…

As processors become faster and multiprocessor systems become cheaper, the need to take advantage of multithreading in order to achieve full hardware resource utilization only increases the importance of being able to incorporate concurrency in a wide variety of application categories.
In this article we are evaluting a new approach to the concurrency. In the last five years computers are becoming even more parallel. Intel is pushing multi-core achiteture also on commodity personal computers. Neverless the computing power is ofter not well used: one again, hardware is a step head of our day-by-day software development. Remember when the 80286 came into light. The 286 was able to provide a multi-programming architecture but without memory management protection. We had to wait 386 hardware to see software working on preemptive multi-tasking, because software cannot cope with unprotected memory. In one word, it costs too much to develop a operating system without the new features the 80386 bring to us. What about concurrent programming? Can we look similarities in the concurrency field?

I am happy Django Team has released version 1.0 of its python web framework. It was planned for 21th of September, but they speed up things :) We can read on Django web site:
Developed and used over two years by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.
In my own opinion django is too much “DRY”, and sometimes simpler solutions was avoided by them because considered “dirty”. Anyway, I have followed Django from 2006, and I suggest you to give it a try.Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY principle.
