Learn by building a real website

This book is not about boring theory. You'll be building a fully functioning website as you learn Django. I even show you how to deploy your website to the Internet for free.

Each chapter of the book is written in the same, easy to understand style as my previous books. I also explain each line of code as we go so you gain the fullest understanding of what is going on with your Django application.

By the end of the book you will not only know all of the basics needed to write an awesome Django website, but you will have a functioning website ready for deployment or to demonstrate to an employer.

Or to show off to your friends :)

Praise for the first edition...

There are many django books out there, but none explain the concepts like you do.
You made me understand something I have been struggling over for almost 6 months now, I just understood it in just about 10 mins of reading your book.

[The book] wasn’t the first my attempt to start learning Django, but it was the first successful one. You are explaining complex things in such a way that they become digestible for beginners.

The reader can follow the creation of a site from the very beginning, step by step. And after all get a simple, but working resource, deployed in the web.

All information is good structured, given in digestible portions, and the author avoids digging in concepts that too complex for beginners. Every page says to the reader: Keep calm and follow how stuff is getting done.

My conclusion? “Build your first website with Python and Django” is the best point to start learning Django from.

Your pedagogical writing style it's amazing! I think you are a great teacher and communicator. Despite that English it's not my native language I understood easily all Django concepts that you explained in you book.

I'm finding it to be useful not only from a "cookbook" standpoint, but also very well written with clear technical explanations suitable for beginners.
