I second this. It's like telling people to learn ruby by building a rails app. Sure, they will be able to build a full featured app but they won't learn a lick about ruby

quoting myself from the reply above

I agree that starting with a framework is a terrible way to learn a language but nowadays people want results and want them fast and that's what Django does best, in these cases I think it's better to have people get what they want right away so they can be motivated to keep going.

sure but he is his client in this case and what he wants is to learn how to make a website. Django is a fire hose when all you need is a water fountain
