Favorite Proverbs and Quotations

These are the ones I like the most.

• Action speaks louder than words. - Proverb
• Patience, humility and caution builds great characters.
• Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. - Aristotle
• Silence is a fence around wisdom. - Hebrew Proverb
• Silence is the best way to answer stupidity. Only a fool has his answer at the tip of his tongue. - Arabic Proverb
• Empty vessels make more noise. - English Proverb
• Above all, try something - FDR

Python and Django

Python and Django, a similar combination to Ruby on Rails, is another scripting combination for the web for speedier delivery schedules. Adrian's Django presentation gives more information on the history and the present trends with Django. There has been a lot of hype surrounding Ruby on Rails. But that will involve learning a whole new language, Ruby. When it comes to Python, you can safely bet on Django. Generating PDF's were my biggest concern in my previous project. I was overwhelmed to see that there is ample support for outputting PDF's. Here's the documentation for this! :)
