Looking forward to see. Here are my thoughts on current "official" Django tutorial: - too much time is spent on admin interface, but in current form admin interface needs such amount of attention, maybe it should be marked as "optional"? - put more emphasis on explaining application architecture, where various things go when compared to typical MVC layout (what most of us, newcomers, see at daily work). - the whole ORM-thingy should be split into separate section, as it defines the crucial part of application (you can change views and controllers in your application, but not the model); the data is your customer's treasure. Anyway, it's god to see anybody working on introductory materials. Documentation should be absolute priority for 1.0 (judging on what I saw on both Django and TurboGears lists earlier). I will be glad to have some intermediate level documents too, but for now I can dig into IRC logs, at 1.0 level this would be unacceptable. ;) -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/
