I'm trying to set up a really basic e-commerce site with Django, and am trying to figure out the best place to start. I am relatively comfortable with the framework itself, but have never done any sort of e-commerce development in any language, so I want to learn about some best practices so I don't make any huge or obvious mistakes.
I've looked at Satchmo, and even went as far as installing and playing around with it, but it looks like way more than I want. I basically want to show users a list of things, and let them click a button to buy one. No cart, no shipping, just click a button, connect with Authorize.net (or something similar) to do the transaction, and then display a confirmation page.
Any suggestions or online tutorials people have found helpful? Even perhaps a tutorial in another language. Or maybe a really lightweight Django plugin that doesn't try to do everything like Satchmo? I've been coming up with very little so far.
Thanks!
I did some research recently that may be of interest. Basically, I think Satchless is the most promising right now.
I haven't used it, but Lightning Fast Shop is a Django-based alternative to Satchmo, which is supposed to be pretty lightweight and so might fit your needs a bit better.

I am a beginner programmer not just in django development. Its getting more and more complicated and can't keep working solo.
Was wondering if its possible to find a django mentor here(stackoverflow), so many great developers here.
thank you.
This question will most likely get closed, but my suggestion would be this:
Learn these technologies in this order:
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
SQL
A server-side language. Python is probably the easiest to get started with. Check out Dive into Python
Call me old-fashioned, but I find that paper books are still easier to learn from than digital. For me, they are simply more tactile, and faster. If you just want to dive in head first, and you want to use Django, start with The Definitive Guide to Django, follwed by Practical Django Projects, then Django Testing finishing up with Pro Django.

My next big hobby hack coming up is to make a website for myself with Clojure. I figure this would be a good way to learn Clojure but trying to plan ahead I think a came across some outdated information.
Right now Noir looks like a winner. I'm open to any suggestions on what I should try using.
Compojure is a common first choice.
It is very well documented and examples abound.
Because Compojure has been around for a while (in Clojure terms that is) there are some dated tutorials. You can spot these because they will have something like clojure 1.2 in the examples.
I have used Noir several times. Highly recommended if you're building a website in Clojure. After a while though, we ended up transferring the majority of the business logic to the client, using Ember.js. Then the Noir Clojure piece became a RESTful json service. The amount of Clojure decreased (I was upset, boo) but the app is much better off this way. Ember is great for building many dependent and connected views which need to sync together when new data is retrieved or persisted.
But I digress.
It depends on concrete tasks that you want to be solved by Web Framework.
I think this topic - Mature Clojure web frameworks? will help you.
Another one that I've been keeping my eye on is joodo.

I want to implement an opinion or customer review system, kind of Disqus, or comments for models in Django, with some extra work on processing this reviews.
I have been googling and searching in github for hours, some platform for working with customer reviews, opinions or comments.
Seems like there is a big controversy about comments native in Django. I have read many good, but many bad things so far.
I am wondering if some of you guys know something similar to Disqus but open source.
I am searching some open source platform, because there is a lot of work to do(in which actually I am working) based on processing the reviews and analyzing them and I wanted to cut off the time for developing from scratch the whole system for managing users and reviews, and focus on the text analytics part.
Any opinion is welcomed!
bests,
Luchux.
Take a look at askbot (disclaimer - I am co-founder and developer of the askbot project).
Askbot is a Q&A system like this site, only open source and more flexible and has better support of email. Our project is still work in progress but we are moving quite fast.

I'd like to experiment with burn-down and planning game with the team I'm on. People on my team are interested in making it happen, however I'm sure someone has done this before and has learned some lessons we hopefully don't have to repeat. Does anyone know of an example Excel (or other tool) template available for burn-down or planning game activities?
This MSDN Blog article Has quite a good review of using burndowns in combination with Cumulative Flow Diagrams which fleshes out the diagrams even more. In the resources links at the bottom of the article there is a link to the Microsoft Scrum kit which has a pre-built excel file.
yes I answered this somewhere else but we use tools just to generate burndown charts.
Like this one: http://www.burndown-charts.com
For the rest, a real board, some post-its and good will do wonders.
And for that tool they also manage teams and allow readonly view of the chart so you can show it to your manager:D .

I am looking for an open-source project involving c++ GUI(s) working with a database. I have not done it before, and am looking for a way to get my feet wet. Which can I work on?
How about this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/:
SQLite Database browser is a light GUI editor for SQLite databases, built on top of QT. The main goal of the project is to allow non-technical users to create, modify and edit SQLite databases using a set of wizards and a spreadsheet-like interface.
Do a project you can get involved in and passionate about. Hopefully a product you use every day.
Anything that you like and feel that you can contribute to.
In my brief experience contributing to an open-source project, I found two points keep me contributing:
Great people - the other people contributing were fun to collaborate with and hang out with (virtually).
Project you care about - doesn't really matter which project as long as the its goals are something you want to spend your free time working on.
Sourceforge has a help wanted page: http://sourceforge.net/people/
browse the postings to see if a project is in your expertise or find one that sound interesting...
And let me be the first to say thank you for being willing to contribute your time and knowlede to the open source movement.
