Hi Daniele, I think additional tutorials would be welcome. My suggestion, before you dive in and start writing, would be to create a ticket with an outline of the proposed tutorial. That will give the community a chance to take a look and provide feedback and suggestions before you spend time doing the actual writing.
For some ideas, here is the list of "coming soon" tutorials that were at the end of tutorial 4 for a long time: - Advanced form processing - Using the RSS framework - Using the cache framework (see ticket below) - Using the comments framework (not sure about this, since I think comments may be removed from Django, see #18965) - Advanced admin features: Permissions - Advanced admin features: Custom JavaScript These may not be the best options at this point, but someone thought they were good ideas at one point. In addition, here are some tutorial tickets that have been "accepted": #16526 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16526> - Add a tutorial on caching #19106 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19106> - Add new tutorial on breaking templates into blocks I think your suggestion of logging is a good candidate -- you may want to take a look at #19395 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19395> as well. Thank-you for your contributions thus far, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future. :-) Tim On Friday, January 4, 2013 5:42:44 PM UTC-5, Daniele Procida wrote: > > I am one of those people who can only learn things by doing them, and > finds it very hard to grasp things from reference materials.
