Amazon S3 is a well known web based storage system provided as SaaS service provided by Amazon Web Services. On Django you can integrate that service using the storage interface called Django Storages, but you must have some considerations using that SaaS storage interface.

So you feel as programmer because you can handle one programming language. Well, the bad news are the fact that you are not a programmer and even you don’t know too much about programming. At least you should know the three main programming paradigms, which comes from the two main branches called functional and imperative, so you should know at least functional, procedural and object oriented programming. The reason is quite simple, all languages are becoming hybrid languages supporting those three programming paradigms, if you do not understand their basic concepts, you are lost and messing the code.

How many times did get issues back with new bugs?. Do you think that is possible to avoid new bugs while you are coding or solving a bug related issue?. Probably is easy enough to consider that the application, depending on its architecture have several layers to observe. I do not mean layers at server side, but looking on a minimum layer overview, we have at least server side and client side, where both can be decomposed in data collecting and data processing, processed data display and presentation display, respectively.

Django provides an API to create custom template tags for those applications mounted over this nice Web Application Framework. Sometimes we need to decorate our functions, but you cannot decorate a function registered as tag in Django. The most elegant solution to solve this problem is to use a closure which will wrap the template tag function to be used decorated template tag.

JQuery is cool, it is a well known JavaScript framework that allows you to create DHTML nicely using selector and method goodies. The problem with jQuery, seems that some developers are messing the code a little bit, so many of them are using inline JavaScript to handle some events. This is a very bad practice, so you should centralise all events in JavaScript files, rather than placing the inline <script/> tag. So, the first step is to create a separate JavaScript files to leave a clean and plain HTML files on the server. Then you can handle a page specific configuration and jQuery event handlers using a very simple and object oriented technique.
