My favorites are "The Definitive Guide to Django" (2nd edition), also called djangobook: http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/ and "Pratical Django Projects" (2nd edition): http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430219386 They are complementary. The first is a wonderful book, mainly suited for beginners, and the second is very useful for more advanced readers. -- Marco Buttu | www.pypeople.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Recommendations for a Django development book?
If you're looking for an advanced view of python and django, look at Marty Alchin's Pro Django. Fantastic book. Also, if you're looking for more of an overview of an intro/intermedia to python/django, look at Jeff Forcier(et al)'s Python Web Development with Django, which is also a solid text. -justin On Tue, 21 Jul 2009, Stodge wrote: > > What is currently the best Django development book?

Re: Recommendations for a Django development book?
You can always check out the free online Django book at: http://www.djangobook.com/ There is the 1.0 version (outdated) and a free web-preview of the 2nd edition available. In addition to books, the documentation for Django is pretty fantastic to learn from for a beginner.

Re: Recommendations for a Django development book?
"The Definitive Guide to Django," second edition. It was just published and was written by Adrian Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan-Moss. In case you don't know who they are, they're the co-creator and a lead developer of Django, respectively. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

The second edition of Practical Django Projects? The first edition was good but hampered by being released soon before 1.0 yet tracking 0.96. The second edition tracks Django 1.1 so it doesn't have that issue (and since Django's API is now stable, it doesn't have the issue of broken code either). On the other hand, PDP is light on the "under the hood" stuff. It isn't about how django works, it's about how to work with Django. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Recommendations for a Django development book?
What is currently the best Django development book? There seem to be quite a few on Amazon.ca, but none are reviewed. I'm familiar with Python and the very basics of Django and I've been developing s/w for 15+ years. So something geared towards advanced users would be good. Much appreciated!
