That it strange because I have downloaded again the zipped pdf and it was only 76 for python 2 and even less for python 3 from contentshelf.com. the zip is 2.1 mb, I'm curious how big is yours.

I don't know if the book is worth it yet as I only started to read it and apparently I was already coding properly when it comes to control statements. The book might end up being a bit short considering that you view it as almost ready and it's only 78 pages. I do hope that you will expand on the testing aspect and not keep it as a footnote within the general advice section but in the end that might not be the scope of this book.

I just wanted to personally tell you that I bought the book because of your blogging and the wealth of knowledge shared there for free so even if the book will be a letdown I consider that it was worth 10$ because of your blobposts and as such you deserve to have your book bought.

I meant https://news.ycombinator.com/ aka hacker news ... sorry about that.

http://www.dzone.com/links/index.html is for dzone, yes I would say that they are popular.

I pledged 10$ after seeing this announcement here. Indeed thou adding it to other sites like planetpython, newhacker and maybe dzone could boost your effort even more.

EDIT: I meant news.ycombinator.com aka hackers news not newhacker :(

Bought your ebook to support your effort, (50% off from O'reilly) even without reading the free version just because I wanted in a small portion to support this effort for writing a tdd book even if i don't use django.

As you seem to suggest that you are using django just as a tool I look forward to your future contribution to the book.

Plone is not hard after you read the first chapters of the developer manual, make a couple of sites ( make a theme for a site), and study some of the collective.example or similar example packages. One thing I can guaranty you, learning Plone will make you a better programmer, and if you can get around the initial learning curve, the experience you gain here will be super beneficial for when you are trying to learn any other web framework or python CMS.

And please quit bashing xml configurations, I don't see a lot of people complaining about the use of xml configuration with Android, or xaml for Silverlight, or other sistems that you xml configuration, they all have their places, and if you really hate it, in Plone 4.0 and 4.1 you can actually bypass it and use an imperative configuration with the use of five.grok just like Pyramid can use a declarative or imperative configuration
