The Django book is the best source of understanding Django I have found
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/
However, it's three years old now. Is the info on it still valid?
Is there a plan to update it?

All books about Django share the same problem: The original
documentation is simply terrific, both for the beginner and the
expert.
Tschö,

Hi Tim,
I'm also a fairly new developer in Django, and I found that reading the
book, specifically chapters 1-10, really gave me a solid foundation.
Reading the book in conjunction with https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/
will give you a very solid footing.
Best,
SB

Yes it is. But the book has its place. Or is leaving the book outdated an
indirect way of telling us to use only the docs?

Hi, I've been using Django about 4 years now, so the docs and source code
is where I usually get answers these days. But back in the the day when I
started out, the book really helped me understand Django, and I
often recommend it to friends just starting out.

Boy, I've lost count of how many times I've had arguments about books vs
documentation vs learning on your own.
In short, the only way you're going to get updated books is if
technically competent writers spend time writing it - but I doubt many devs
would be interested in re-writing (and essentia

I don't remeber the exact details, but Django book is not part of Django
project but separate project.

Hi,
sometimes it happens, that db queries get executed at import time (during
importing the file by the interpreter).
That's waste of time a resources.
Is there a way to test how many queries get executing during import? I want

There is no relationship between the Django project and the
Django book apart from the fact that the tw authors are

That put me on the right track.

I keep a checked out copy of the Django source code and just refer to the

the book when I first started but it lacked the Class Based Views which I
prefer to use when possible.

.distinct(fields) + .order_by() is pretty low level stuff - that is
why it would be nice if there

Why? Imports only happen the first time a process accesses a module. A
Hi Don,
Wondering why you dont inherit from just Formview..and define the
success URL to a separate class based ListView. It splits it up into
two class based views with the Formview taking care of returning the
errors on failure. On success it hands off to your Listview based
class that knows whi

All,
I am at my wit's end trying to come up with a structure to do the

Each InstanceModel must have a name that corresponds to one of the

Hi Brandy,
I downloaded your project modified the beginning to the following:
# Django settings for mysite project.
import os,sys

great:
I think this is a good sellery for India if you add some bonuses.

If you install django-devserver, and enable SQL queries in the console, then
every query will be displayed as it happens, and you should be able to

Hi,
This bug sounds familiar, from back in the days when Django's admin started
migrating to named URLs in the admin.
The regex you've got for the admin page is the source of the problem. What
you've got is a weird hybrid between the old style:
