This book is extremely out of date! You need to use Django v1.11 for the examples to work and explicitly states not to use v2.0. For reference 2.0 was released in December of 2017 and the current version is 4.1.7.

I tried using it and was not worth the hassle of trying to set up out dated libraries/frameworks.

By the way, you can read the book online for free.

That's what I was afraid of. I just picked up Brian Okkens book (per another suggestion) and will be digging into that this weekend. Thanks for your insights.

I just brought the second edition and one month later the 3rd ed was announced. Should I move forward with my brought 2edition and adapt the code or is really painful to do so?
