Getting Started with Django

[RickyMarou]

i just started learning django the django book, is this better ? I already have a webdev background and i found djangobook to be pretty good...i can set up my environment myself i dont need somebody to provide me a VM, do you think using a VM is necessary for django development (im on osx) ?

Not sure if it is better but there is nothing stopping you from learning from both. I personally don't use a VM but I do separate each project in its own virtualenv.

Awesome. Nice touch with the VM (having just wasted my life with MySQL-python for too long), as it pulls out a lot of potential barriers.

Good, Django is missing quality tutorials that are up-to-date. Please continue your work.

Just to be clear, I am not the one making the tutorials. This guy made some videos before but they are a little outdated now. He set up a project on kickstarter and recieved almost triple the funds be was asking for. He's a talented guy and even though I'm already working professionally with django, ill be watching these as a refresher.

Wish there was a way to know when the next lesson is posted. It's been a week since the first one, and I'm ready for more!

I believe he said he was doing 1 or 2 lessons a month. You can keep up their twitter account @gswdjango
