Using Pydev for Django

To get a little more practice I went through the 1.4 Polls tutorial on the official Django site.  I did it different this time.  I set it up on my local computer instead of the hosted site like last time, I used Eclipse with the PyDev plugin and I followed the same version of documentation throughout the tutorial.  

I would recommend to anyone trying to learn to setup it up on there home machine instead of anywhere else.   Eclipse with PyDev is also a huge help.  Instead of jumping back and forth directories I had the files open in different tabs in the IDE.  This was a huge time saver for me over using Vim.  The first time I went through the tutorial each section  took at least a couple of hours.  This time the whole tutorial took a couple of hours.  

I did a commit in Git and uploaded it to GitHub for each section of the tutorial.  That can be located at https://github.com/ronaldsnyder/developmentSite
