Xbox Rewards

Xbox Rewards had over two million registered users back in 2011 only a few months after we launched it. From what I can tell, the site is still running on the same Django installation that lobbied for in 2010.

Django templates introduced inheritance to the world of dynamic templating. I was obsessed with it and still am. Had we have used any other platform to create Xbox Rewards we wouldn’t have had inheritance.
