Django n00bs like me owe a great deal of our learning to Randall. His book, 'The Heroku Hacker's Guide' is an excellent resource for anyone looking to deploy a Django project quickly and cleanly to Heroku.

To that end, he also created a fantastic Django template `django-skel`[0] that uses good industry-standard practices. As a newbie, `django-skel` helped me understand code modularity and the importance of organizing your code in more ways than one.

To top it all, Randall is a thoroughly nice guy to chat with. I'm glad OpenCNAM is growing and I wish it continues to grow for a long, long time to come. :)

I'll toss in my own two cents. Thanks to a discussion with Randall we started working on what eventually became Two Scoops of Django. The 'The Heroku Hacker's Guide' was an inspiration, and his promise to be one of the reviewers gave us the confidence to get started.

I'm delighted OpenCNAM has done so well and I wish him the best in the future. :-)

Woa man, I'm extremely flattered! Thanks so much ^^

I'd like to echo this sentiment. Thanks Randall!
