Beginning Django E-Commerce

by James McGaw, Jim McGaw

Beginning Django E-Commerce guides you through producing an e-commerce site using Django, the most popular Python web development framework. Topics covered include how to make a shopping cart, a checkout, and a payment processor; how to make the most of Ajax; and search engine optimization best practices. Throughout the book, you'll take each topic and apply it to build a single example site, and all the while you'll learn the theory behind what you're architecting.

This book contained a lot of helpful information but was too obtuse. By the time I got done reading it I still could not even get a lousy Django-powered static homepage up. This is in stark contrast to the same publisher's other title about the exact same subject, Apress's Definitive Guide to Django, wherein I was able to get a page up straight away after reading the first section (approximately a third of the book). In addition to being hard to understand, the author kept bringing up subjects that seems very tangential to the topic at hand. Read Apress's other book.
