I'v made a easiest and simplest tutorial, just want the study work can be from scratch but not a big one, I hope this will be helpful. This tutorial will only aim to create a "Hello, django!" page, there will be no more things except it. So there is almost nothings in it, but it can be run in django.
1. setup the django (just python setup.py install) 2. django-admin.py startproject newtest then goto newtest directory 3. modify settings.py I won't want to change it, but if I just start the web server, there will raise a execption show that I didn't config the database options. So I had to change the settings.py, just these lines: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' But I'll not use them in this tutorial. And make sure you have pysqlite2 module installed. If this one can be skipped, this tutorial will be easier. 4. create a helloworld.py file in newtest directory the content of the file is: from django.utils.httpwrappers import HttpResponse def index(request): return HttpResponse("Hello, django.") 5. modify urls.py urlpatterns = patterns('', # Example: (r'^$', 'helloworld.index'), # Uncomment this for admin: # (r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls.admin')), ) I map the null to 'helloworld.index' 6. start the web server manage.py runserver 7. view the result You will see the "Hello, django!" in the browser. That's the all. The only thing I used just is urldispatcher. I hope it will be fun for beginners. -- I like python!
