I'm new to django& programming in general. I know the basics of
Python. Anyways, going through the djangoproject tutorial, I came to
the part where you edit the polls/models.py, and this is where I need
advice.
I understand roughly what's going in when we write the script in
models.py, however if I had to create something like this on my own, I
wouldn't know where to begin. Obviously I have no .db experience, but
I get the gist of the different types of fields django uses. The
question is, how do I go about learning this?? Do I need to go through
an SQL tutorial to better understand how this works??
Thanks in advance for ANY help!
I read somewhere that it takes about 10,000 hours of
(learning/training/practice/work) to achieve mastery in any area
requiring complex skills and knowhow. Playing a musical instrument,
writing complex database systems for the web, air traffic control - you
name it.
I think you need to bite the bullet and slog your way through the
tutorial. Don't expect to understand too much the first time but learn
to follow the written instructions *slavishly* until it actually works.
Then get yourself a copy of The Definitive Guide to Django by Adrian
Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan-Moss and work through that.
Finally tackle a small project of your own and make that work. Google
will help you answer most of your questions.
Good luck
Mike
BTW, I'm using Winxp, django1.3.1 and Sqlite3 (with Python2.7)
