Student projects
It’s that time of the year again, when our final-year students begin their project work. In the run-up to project selection, it was tremendously encouraging to see how many of them were keen on using Python in general, and the Django framework in particular. And it now looks like two or maybe three of my four students will be making significant use of Django. Java doesn’t go unrepresented either, with one student planning on doing interesting things with Eclipse and version control.
Anyway, I hope all of my guys get stuck in and do some good work. Projects that go well can be as rewarding for the supervisor as they are for the student!

Hi,
I already posted this on the Django user’s group, however this might be an interesting project for you and your students:
There is a web platform contest coming up at http://www.plat-forms.org/
which aims itself “…at comparing different technological platforms
for developing web-based applications: Java EE, .NET, PHP, Python,
Ruby-on-Rails.”
Regards,
