Re: Re. My Django Book.

[Gary Roach]

Since I am grinding my way through the learning process right now I thing I 
have some fairly pithy comments to contribute. It seems that no two 
tutorials do things the same way. I got bogged down in Two  Scoops because 
I needed a more detailed cookbook approach. Tango With Django is the best 
except it is written for Django 1.7. There is a serious break between how 
1.7 and 1.8 handle template files in the settings.py file. I still haven't 
recovered from this. Initial setup made me pull my hair out by the roots 
(and I can't afford to loose much more). Some suggestions:
  If your using a database other than the built in SQLite set it up 
first.
  Setup virtualenv and virtualenvmapper next.
  Do everything else inside of virtualenv.
  Install Django with pip (virtualenv active)
Then start a tutorial. The Django documentations tutorial seemed to be very 
good until it segued into a long trites on API setup. Really annoying. I 
just wanted to get the basic system set up. That said, the official 
tutorial may still be your best bet. Good luck.

Re: Re. My Django Book.

[sarfaraz ahmed]

I am also looking for books which provide more of examples. The two scoops
of Django is more of doing things right than tutoring as MOnobot said. This
are the following things I want to learn in Django

I want to learn how to manually create form rather than creating modelform.
Combing forms from multiple models and show them under one view.

Rgards,
Sarfaraz Ahmed

Re: Re. My Django Book.

The django docs are excellent. However, if you are more of a book person,
then try Try Two Scoops of Django (http://twoscoopspress.org/) - well
written and updated.

I'm no way an advanced user, but I found the book simplistic and not worth 
it.  Django's own documentation is much 
better https://docs.djangoproject.com
