Django's History
Released in 2005, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison created Django for their work at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper. They named it after the French guitarist, Django Reinhardt.
Django's goal has been to ease the development of database driven websites. Its core tenets include: DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), reusability, and rapid development. These principles contributed to Django's widespread adoption. It's now used by thousands of companies including Google, Mozilla, Instagram, and The Washington Times.
