Tarek Ziade & Daniel Greenfeld blogged this first. I just stole the idea.

1. What's the coolest Python application, framework, or library you have discovered in 2009?

Well, I can't really say Django, but I really got into it in 2009, learned a lot of cool/new stuff and applied them in different projects.

I met the awesome power of ftplib and smtplib (which is kinda typical python style, it's just that I didn't know about them before). I was also introduced to Pip, Virtualenv and Tarek Zaide's Distribute.

2. What new programming technique did you learn in 2009?

I learned that I hate ASP.Net! I haven't really done anything nifty with it, but some gigs involved it. I'm not saying it's bad of course, I'm just saying I don't like it, so no need to argue that ;)

I also learned some cool CSS3/HTML5 stuff... Hated some css-related projects that really-didn't-make-sense for a lot of designers I know + me, like Sass (sass-lang.com). Nathan Borror said it best.

3. What's the name of the open source project you contributed the most in 2009? What did you do?

Hmm... Well, I wish I could've been more involved but studying Philosophy really takes time :( 

I started FTPThing though (which is not 10% done yet). But the idea is that I haven't seen a web based ftp client that I liked! They're either ugly or lacking something, plus I wanted to have a django based one. Anyway, I have some plans for it and if anyone is interested in joining, go ahead and fork it :) 

If you haven't seen Live Tweeting, check the blogpost. We're planning on releasing the code when it's stable enough :-)

I have some plans to do something with Pinax (but I really don't want to jinx myself because every time I say I want to help in I end up not doing anything).

4. What was the Python blog or website you read the most in 2009?

Don't know actually, but I can say 70% of my python/django reads are from django community aggregator guys. 

5. What are the top three things you want to learn in 2010?

Learn more about Objective-J and Cappuccino, because they really look cool.

Try something with Erlang + Nitrogen or Erlyweb (not sure which one is better yet).

Continue Learning Japanese (I can read/write Hiragana now, FTW! (not so good though, needs more practice)).

Gonna get my driving license in the next two months.

And of course continue working on Live Tweeting with the guys, maybe something great will come out of it :D

What do you think?
