Ebook: The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right

Django, the Python-based equivalent to Ruby’s Rails Web development framework, is one of the hottest topics in Web development today. Its creator (and co-author of this book) Adrian Holovaty has become a superstar of sorts because of the compelling array of Web applications he’s built using Django, including most notably http://chicagocrime.org. Holovaty and Django lead developer Jacob Kaplan-Moss have created this book as the definitive guide to the technology.

Django: Web Development Done Right is divided into three parts, with the first introducing Django fundamentals such as installation and configuration, and creating the components that ultimately work together to power a Django-driven website. Part II delves into the more sophisticated features of Django, such as outputting non-HTML content like RSS feeds and PDFs, caching, and user management. Part III is a detailed reference to Django’s many configuration options and commands. This book serves as both the ultimate tutorial and the go-to reference on this popular framework.
