A little off-topic:

Asking how to learn design seems to be common here, yet no one here has taken the time to seize this opportunity and actually build something that aids developers to learn how to design for the web.

First of all, stay away from Bootstrap. Learn the basics first then get yourself familiar with Photoshop. You can learn the basics by reading books like "The non-designer's design book", "Design Basics" or something similar.

Then go pick out well designed websites and try to recreate it with Photoshop. You can use Dribbble for this. Try to pay attention to every pixel and recreate it exactly as you see it, or it'll most likely end up ugly. After a while you can try to add your own stuff onto it.

After doing this for some time, you'll have learned how to do simple stuff with Photoshop, you'll have learned what kind of layouts each type of website uses and you'll be able to use these layouts for your own projects. You'll learn how to effectively apply subtle effects and much more.

Basically, the fastest way to become good at design is to copy other people's design.

Also, remember that anything you design at first will probably look ugly, but you need to keep tweaking it until you find something that looks good.

I've had several black spots that float around in my vision for over a year now. Is that a sign of retinal detachment? I visited the doctor and he said eye floaters were normal and people with myopia were prone to getting eye floaters.

The conclusion that life is meaningless, is meaningless as well. That means you can live life however you want, without bearing much importance to that conclusion.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought linking to movies instead of hosting them is legal?

Hah, "Contribution to the progress of humanity". As if that's some kind of ultimate goal that everyone has to strive for.

Your homepage_view function doesn't return an HttpResponse object. How do I know that? Because you're in debug mode. You should disable that.

Google's mission is to display their ads to as many people as possible. How is a walled garden going to help achieve that goal?

No, it's not. He's just showcasing the simplicity of bottle.py

John, you probably don't want to read this, but dropping out of college and selling yourself as an idea guy isn't going to get you anywhere.
