Pro Django: Web Development Done Right (Pro)
Django, the Python-based equivalent to the Ruby on Rails web development framework, is presently one of the hottest topics in web development today. In Pro Django: Web Development Done Right, Adrian Holovaty, one of Djangos creators, and Django lead developer Jacob Kaplan-Moss show you how they use this framework to create award-winning web sites. Over the course of three parts, they guide you through the creation of a web application reminiscent of chicagocrime.org.
The first part of the book introduces Django fundamentals like installation and configuration. Youll learn about creating the components that power a Django-driven web site. The second part delves into the more sophisticated features of Django, like outputting non-HTML content (such as RSS feeds and PDFs), plus caching and user management. The third part serves as a detailed reference to Djangos many configuration options and commands. The book even includes seven appendixes for looking up configurations options and commands. In all, this book provides the ultimate tutorial and reference to the popular Django framework.

Documentation is What Makes Django
I've dabbled with what I consider to be all the major web frameworks: TurboGears, Pylons, Rails, and Django. Religion and other biases aside, what really made me finally settle on Django was the documentation (though...

Even though I'm not a real world user of Django (I'm a Grails guy), I thought I'd give this book a try as Django is in the same category of web development frameworks as Grails. After reading this book, I had a solid foundation knowledge about how...

Good companion to online version.
Although you can read this book for free online, I like having it around for easy reference. The first eight or so chapters are good for learning Django; with the subsequent chapters and appendixes good for reference.

A solid introduction, lacking in examples
Django is a framework I've long (in web years) held in some esteem, despite never having used it before the past few weeks. The framework's creators' many well reasoned contributions on all manner of debates about the web suggested a thoughtful...

Good introduction to Django
This book basically covers all the parts of Django, and will give you a good overview . It misses some details though, such as middleware, which is just skimmed through. There's also not much on customizing Django, i.e not using it's built in...
