Designer News censors posts criticizing LayerVault
A recently published article by Andrew Sass about the legal drama between LayerVault and DesignModo -- http://www.compylr.com/post/open-source-flat-ui-now-sue-me-sue-you-blues -- was censored after about 5 minutes on LayerVault's news aggregator (news.layervault.com). Andrew has since been banned and his account deleted for voicing his opinion.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. The point of the creative economy isn't to largely regurgitate the ideas of others and then slap a price tag on it. The idea of a creative economy, at least in my eyes, is to reward those who are exceptionally talents and create something new and of value. Taking an amazing open source project, putting some new makeup so to speak on it, and calling it a product hardly seems to fit with the spirit of what I call the creative economy.

Clarification: This is not an ad for Codecademy. Compylr has no affiliation with Codecademy, or any of the other companies we review or write about. Compylr is completely independent. The site is maintained by an independent collection of people who happen to work in technology, and the content is contributed by those same people.
If you're upset about a positive story because you simply don't like the company yourself, that seems like a personal problem. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Check out the Django documentation on https://www.djangoproject.com/. The documentation is wonderful and very well written. I learned Django from reading that. As for Python, I'd suggest the Learn Python The Hard Way free ebook/exercises rather than CodeAcademy. There is also Dive Into Python. I am new to programming and used these resources to build some web apps in Python. You should learn enough from these to hire someone to do the work for you.
