✓ Created a Django app

It doesn't do anything yet, but it successfully writes to the database and reads from it.

It's less sophisticated than Rails in some ways, but it makes much more of an effort to explain what's going on, and provide pluggable functions and classes which make it trivial to create a website, rather than just saying "go here, type this, look it works by magic!"

I think that's partly a genuine difference in philosophy, but partly that I didn't know any Ruby before starting to play with Rails, which made things seem even more mysterious than it should have done.
