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!

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.

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

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.

  • I still believe from a skill set and flexibility perspective going with javascript + some framework like jquery is a better way to go about it. – zengr Jun 11 '11 at 07:59
