    <p>Why do you <em>have</em> to convince your boss to use Django?</p> <p>Your boss should understand that it's in his best interest to work in what the people he'll be employing know best. </p> <p>But, how can you tell that Django is really the best suit all things considered? </p> <p>For example:</p> <ul> <li>Are the servers in-house? do the sysadmins know how to maintain servers for Django? </li> <li>Are the servers in a webhost, do you know how much does it cost to have a Django webhost versus a PHP one?</li> <li>Are the rest of the team familiarized with Django/Python? If you are a one man team, what if your boss wants to make the team bigger, will he be able to? At what cost? PHP devs abound.</li> <li>Given the PHP framework of choice, can you honestly give some criteria that will translate to dollars (or whatever your currency is) giving Django the advantage? Say, time to market, or some features that will be used and come for free in Django but not in the other alternative? Don't forget that if you are a good programmer you can create good programs in any language.</li> </ul> <p>This are just some things you have to consider before presenting with your boss with a "PHP sucks, let's use Python instead" speech. I understand the feeling but it really might not make sense in the long run in certain cases. If, after all these things are answered (and some more), you can still present a good case for Django, then you should do so. Just don't do what sounds to a business man like fanboy speech.</p> <p>UPDATE: If the only thing stopping you from doing in Django is your boss' fear <strong>and you both know that you can make it work at a comparable cost in infrastructure</strong>, then the only way to alleviate that fear is to jump in and do something like it. You might get authorization for a prototype, for example. No amount of talking will relieve him from his fear, he'll need to see something. You should also tutor him (if possible) on how Python works while you go at it, so he can appreciate the beauty of the beast.</p>

    1. COThe problem is I'm aware that python when it comes to business decisions doesn't look to well on first sight. There's a good article about it on http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1045768.html Objective business comparison with php doesn't give clear favourite when it comes to my companies field. That's why I need to do some "marketing" so my team gets the cool project.

    2. COThen either debunk those comparisons with well thought out rationales or live with it, if an objective business comparison doesn't have Django as a favorite, why should you force things? OTOH, if there are some real technical benefits, why can't them be translated to business benefits? Make them so!

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
