When I first started getting into programming (was not a CS major in college) everybody said to start learning Python first.

I started digging in and a lot of concepts were easy to grasp and I learned quite a bit until I started doing front-end work and I stopped working with it.

This year, my buddy who got me into it originally, suggested I look at django and I've been having fun with that in the past few months. Made me think about picking Python back up and working with it again as the front-end scene is just so crazy right now.

We run django with django-rest-framework in production to provide our frontend app with the JSON api it needs -- it has some gotchas and isn't perfect, but is a treat to work with when you want to split time between front and back work.
