Do I detect someone using Tango With Rango as a tutorial. I agree that, for me, it made more sense than the other tutorials. I tried most of them. To bad that he hasn't updated to 1.8 and python 3 . I solved the problem by setting up a virtual environment using python 2.7 and django 1.7.11 for the tutorial and another one using django 1.8 and python 3.4 for the actual project. This works for me.

"Explaining everything" is too much of a generalisation to be a useful criticism. Django has been built incrementally, with a high degree of backwards-compatibility, so many older tutorials will still be valid. The docs are *always* up-to-date and highlight clearly where new features have been added. If you want a more tutorial-like approach, that also covers the latest features, then look no further than "Two Scoops of Django" (https://www.twoscoopspress.com/)

    Just a general lack of tutorials properly explaining everything I
    would say. Though I could be wrong as I dont have that much
    experience. Hosting in general just makes me sick.

        Yes, it's a bad idea. Django 1.7 is unsupported and no longer
        receives security updates. Please use at least the Django 1.8
        series (the latest is 1.8.8 as of now) which is a long-term
        support release and will receive security updates until April
        2018 as described at
        https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions

        I'd be curious to hear under what circumstances using the
        latest version of Django will cause headaches for hosting. It
        really shouldn't affect any hosting providers as far as I know.

            Hey guys, I am starting work on a website and I was
            thinking if starting with Django 1.7 is a bad idea or not,
            since 1.9 is out right now. With 1.7, I feel like hosting
            will be less of a headache.
