[p2pu-dev] Tech call notes: 2013-01-17

[Jos Flores]

Hey guys,

loads of goodies in the list, as usual. One question: moving the MOOC
maker to Django?
I understand that python/django is the main tech, and I understand why
you'd want to stay away from RoR, but I probably got this wrong, but I
thought that the mech mooc was more like a set of scripts than a full
blown site... is that correct? or are there other plans for it?

Would it make sense to have a separate, restful back end, and a front
end written on top of that? Flask maybe on the back end and a
JavaScript MV* library in front?

cheers,
José
