Sleeping with the enemy..
summary
Recreates DHH's 15‑minute blog demo in Django with a working GitHub repo, using Django's generic views and overriding get_queryset to add a preview query param, and showing model forms that tie fields widgets and type conversion into a cleaned_data save method so no attr_accessible or strong parameters are needed. Compares the Django form/widget/field pipeline to Rails params plus ActiveRecord attribute assignment and notes a Rails pull request inspired by these differences.
