    Depends on your experience I guess. But if you have a server to mess around on and some spare time (if you want something quick, by all means, use a CMS!;), wouldn't hurt to just download Django, install it, and see.

    Then you could install one of the many preexisting "frameworks within a framework" on top of it, like this one:

    If you can manage that (and admittedly, installing this stuff can be surprisingly daunting sometimes), you've got a pretty solid base to build from without needing to learn the entire language inside and out. OK, maybe the above example isn't the most "portfolio like", but you could reverse engineer it by taking the blog section of the site and convert that into a list of projects.

    • Thanks for the advice - will see if I have time to get stuck in later :)skeletonboy
