I'm from the Age of BBC Micros, so I remember DOS. I started getting into UNIX not long after that, although my first ever access to the internet was via a Demon dial-up and a 386SX desktop running Mosaic, Windows 3.1 and the Clarkson packet drivers. It really messes with my head to think how much more powerful current computers are in comparison.

Hi, I'm a newbie to web programming. In the last three weeks or so, I've started learning Wagtail and Django, with a view to putting a number of projects together. I know very little about HTML, less about HTML5, and almost nothing about CSS. I chose Django partly because I like Python, and partly because the clean design and very favourable reputation of Django really appealed. So far, I've put together a basic development system using Mercurial and SCM-Manager for source control, NGINX and UWSGI for the web server and python backend, and MariaDB for the database engine. This is all running on a Pi 2 running ArchLinux, so it's not exactly the fastest thing in the universe, but the projects I have in mind will be based on something similar, if they ever make it off the drawing board.
