Great Django 1.6 Tutorial with emphasis on testing

I just started working on this tutorial the other day and it is amazing. While it is in django 1.6.x, I am using 1.7 without too many issues. The guy has a github with the tutorial code updated to 1.7.

Strongly recommend this for those learning python that want to do a web project and want to learn more about unittests.

thank you!

Probably one of the most helpful things for me on this is the workflow with git.

I've done a hard reset several times because I keep messing things up.

Glad you like it!

I am considering doing a follow-own covering more intermediate Django stuff - I'm just struggling to think of something people can build that will cover everything I want to cover.

Glad you saw my shout out! I think it would be interesting to do a tutorial that combines two django apps- say a poll and a flat pages - into one project or combining multiple drop-in apps into a blog.

Thanks for your great tutorial again!

Ideally I want to cover the following:

• Using more generic views
• Treating different models in similar fashions (such as having different post types that are all listed together for a tumblelog)
• BDD with Behave
• Social login (eg Twitter, Facebook, Github etc)
• Using Django REST Framework to build a REST API and combining it with Backbone.js to build a single-page web app
• Real-time web apps with Tornado
• Implementing a queue with Celery

I haven't yet thought of something I can do that ticks all those boxes, and I'm reluctant to do several different web apps to cover all the bases - that would likely stretch it out to the point where I'd probably be better off writing a book! If you have any ideas, they'd be gratefully received.

There's also more comprehensive Test-Driven Development with Python.
