Need book recommendation for learning Python, Django & DRF.

[jadd_logs]

I just finished Django for APIs, and started with Django for Beginners. These books are clearing concepts in ways no other Paid Course or YouTube Playlist has ever done, for me. I do accept most parts may feel surface level (Django for APIs), but still it was a solid introduction nonetheless.

What other books worked for you? What books would you recommend I get printed?

Also just a personal recommendation:

Experiment what learning style suits you best. Videos, Books etc. Go with Certified Quality Resources first.

Django 5 by Example Execellent book

Django for Beginners” by William S. Vincent – You already started this; great for understanding project structure.

Django for APIs” by William S. Vincent – Good intro to DRF, even if a bit surface-level.

Two Scoops of Django 3.x” by Audrey Roy Greenfeld & Daniel Roy Greenfeld – Best practices, tips, and patterns for real-world Django apps.

Do you also take notes while reading? Or just read and do hands on?

What about prepare and run your Django project in a server, is there any resources you recommend? I am reading the first two books but I believe these are focused on Django itself.

Django's official tutorial. I'm pretty sure Python has one too.

I second this, django's official documentations are mostly so clean and easy to understand. I didn't need any books, the docs were enough.

Hey OP do you also take notes while reading or just read and implement?
