Hi Devs, I've been recommending Django to web developer friends. I typically first point them to Jacob's excellent video on Google for the background on Django (with the caveat that some code might be out of date but the general history and Django philosophy is well represented)... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-70449010942275062
I then point them to the Django documentation where one of the first things they try to do is walk through the tutorial. This is where I often hear some complaints about the tutorial. To be perfectly honest, I've never thought to follow up and hear what they thought wasn't so great... I've just referred them on to more material (like open code available to look at, the Django Book online, etc.) But I do recall when I walked through the tutorial that it was good and well explained, but the example itself (Polls) left something to be desired. I'm curious if it's ever been considered to rewrite the tutorial with a more apt app or project? My main question is if it's open for discussion or do most think it's a fine tutorial. If most think it could be better, then I'd like to open the discussion on what kind of app or project might be more suitable and interesting to a wider audience and the parts of the tutorial itself.
