Six Feet Up CTO and AWS Community Hero, Calvin Hendryx-Parker, was featured in a DevPro Journal article, “The Django Framework Explained.”

“Django likes to call itself the web framework ‘for perfectionists with deadlines,’” said Calvin. “I think that captures what makes it so useful.”

In the article, Calvin discusses the cornerstone benefits of Django including its:

• scalability,
• security and
• speed.

“Unlike some other frameworks, Django has a strong opinion about how you use it,” he says. “There are vast libraries and templates that can help developers work quickly and efficiently. That ‘batteries included’ element is great for people working on a diverse range of projects.”

Calvin also explains the impact of how open and welcoming the Django community is. “Anyone enthusiastic about open-source software is welcome to help,” said Calvin.
