Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Intro to Unintrusive JavaScript with Django, here is a quick summary:

The steps of the novice web developer are fraught with peril. They begin with HTML, then move onto CSS. They learn a web framework or two, and they finally start to wrangle with JavaScript. This tutorial aims to help the developer who has taken their first steps with Django, and wants to begin experimenting with adding JavaScript and Ajax to their webapps.

Ben,

Thank you for the brilliant article.

Although, I really feel confused and disappointed by this article, since it offers to incapsulate the logic into the presentation part of the application.

I thought things have changed from the early 90's, and Django offers its own implementation of AJAX making developers not to worry about JS frameworks knowledge when developing interactive applications. I really supposed that Django not only abstracts the presentation from the business logic, but also makes it possible to share the common syntax across the application, which makes it possible to develop and test using some common style.

Heh... Web programming still remains the hard nut with a lot of standards and different implementations of the same stuff. It is sad.

Thanks once again for your article.)
