I agree, Practical Django Projects is a great book! Altough I would only recommend it if you've read the docs and worked you way through the tutorial (which are both excellent as someone mentioned earlier...) It's full of best practices and a lot of bits and pieces that are not covered by the tutorial. Which is good by the way because the tutorial is clearly for beginners, and Practical Django Projects is more towards the intermediate djangonaut I would say. As brad says, it gives you more of the big picture.
I've learned a lot from it! So if you've got some time, wait a few months, if you are to eager or to curious to learn django, just go and get it. Altough it's a little bit outdated, the biggest part of it (especially best practices) is still up to date. If you know some django, you will recognize the parts where it's behind django 1.0.2. benjamin Am 05.01.2009 um 15:42 schrieb brad: > > > On Jan 5, 2:21 am, HB <hubaghd...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Do you recommend "Practical Django Projects" instead? > > I got this book as soon as it came out, and very soon after Django hit > 1.0.
