Re: How to learn Django stepwise Effectively

If you already know python, I would just start with the tutorial on the website, and then just start hacking on small projects with it. Learn by doing works best for me, but you can also look into two scoops of django if you like reading books. On Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 7:12:31 PM

i think you are a little confused. i'll try to clear things up. first, the url.py does not depend on the apache configuration in the sense you imply. but apache does have to know when to call the django/python handler, and that can be host based, directory based, virtualhost based (if the apache
