A beginner's guide to design, develop, and deploy a fully-featured dynamic website using the features of Django 1.0. This book is for web developers who want to learn to build a complete site with Web 2.0 features, using the power of a proven and popular development system, Django, but do not necessarily want to learn how the complete framework functions in order to do this. Basic knowledge of Python development is required for this book, but no knowledge of Django is expected.
This is a superb step-by-step intro to the world of Django web development. The author takes you - at a superbly gentle pace - through the creation of a bookmarking site, a la delicio.us. The text is friendly and readable, and its one of those tech books you can happily read from cover to cover.
This was the best book for learning Django quickly that I found. The author is very clear explaining general concepts of Django and Python and guides the reader while doing a simple bookmark manager website.
