Framework for a beginner

[Micky Hulse]

Hello,

I've got more experience with PHP stuff, but for Python, I would
recommend checking out Django "getting started":

<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/>

... to see if you like it.

Having used a few PHP frameworks and CMSs, I really dig that Django
has a built-in admin; I am in the same boat as you for when it comes
to "rebuild my portfolio using python and a framework", and I am happy
to use the Django admin as it saves me the headache of having to build
one myself.

For hosting (more than Django too) I highly recommend WebFaction:

<http://www.webfaction.com/>

The one-click install process is awesome. Great support too. Cheap
with lots of control and room to grow.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Micky
