Hello, When I started learning Django, I used production code as a model far more often than the tutorial. The problem I ran into was that I wasn't following best practices by following the code that I had, and I didn't know *why* some decisions as to how things worked were made. The very code that I learned with ended up being scrutinized and updated by me a year or so later. An official "real-life", advanced tutorial would have been wonderful to fill the gap that I had. It would have saved me quite a bit of *re-learning* things, which is always annoying. Thanks! Jeff Anderson
