Excellent 11. August 2009

Von Florian Schweikert

Format:Taschenbuch

This book is an excellent way to discover the power of the Django framework (version 1.0).

Starting with fifty pages of python stuff, you got the python knowledge you need (also if you already have python-coding abilities, it's good to read this section).

The second chapter called "Django for the Impatient: Building a blog". At about 20 pages the author explains in short how to build a simple blog, including models (database), templates, etc.

Third chapter is an overview (about 20 pages) about the parts of django, you already used in chapter two.

The remaining 200 pages cover the details of Django, including Ajax, CMS, Google App Engine and more.

The book is easy to read, also for non-native speakers.
A must-have for prospective Django developers.

A reasonable introduction to Django 22. Dezember 2008

Von Kelly P. Vincent - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

We are a Python shop at work and have recently started developing in Django. So I picked this book up as a total beginner to Django, but an experienced Python programmer. I feel that the book would be more or less the same even for someone totally new to Python, because Django is definitely a different kind of beast.

Overall, this book was okay to good. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. It is definitely targeted at beginners to Django (and possibly Python). As a Django beginner, I first ran through the tutorial on the Django website, because it is very thorough and good. I definitely recommend that as a starting place regardless of which book you end up buying. Then I cracked open this book. The first chapter is a 50-page introduction to Python, so I skipped that. Chapter 2 is a tutorial in which you build a simple blog. So by the time I had finished that chapter, I had built two different Django sites but not really read anything about the language or framework or theory thereof. I think this is a good thing, and this chapter is well-placed. Chapter 3 introduces Django. It covers dynamic web sites, communication, data storage, presentation, separating the layers (MVC), general django architecture, and "core philosophies of Django". It is a decent introduction, though I read through it quickly so I could get to the next three chapters.

The next three chapters make up the Django in Depth section and are the bread-and-butter of the book. The first chapter covers models, the second URLs/HTTP/views, and the third templates and form processing. For me, these were the chapters I was most looking forward to, where I would learn everything I needed to know to get started really understanding. And they let me down a bit. Each one was good in what it covered, but the problem was that it left out quite a bit. The part on the models themselves was pretty good and covered the necessities. But the part on querying was a little sparse. They left much for the reader to go to the documentation and find out. (But what's the point of the book, then?) I did think it was nice that they mentioned fixtures, as I had trouble finding that information online when I needed to set one up for work. The chapter on views was decent, but seemed to leave out too much detail. The section covering views specifically was short. Finally, the template/forms chapter again left the reader to find out critical details in the online documentation. First, the template section was short. Second, the forms section seemed long enough, but I just found that it wasn't that helpful when I was really creating forms for work.

The next four chapters are tutorials in which you build various applications. I haven't gone through these yet, but they look pretty good. I think Django is one of those things that is best learned in a very hands-on fashion. Perhaps some of the weaknesses of the previous three chapters are made up for here; but I doubt it, and if so feel that information should have still been included in the earlier chapters. (The book is fairly slim and could definitely be expanded.) Chapter 11 covers advanced Django programming, including customizing the admin, using syndication, generating downloadable files, enhancing Django's ORM with custom managers, and extending the template system. The chapter seems decent enough, although I haven't had to do any of these things yet. Likewise, with Chapter 12 covering advanced Django deployment, I haven't had to deploy anything yet so I only know that the chapter seems to cover some useful information.

Good Information on Django 10. Dezember 2008

Von C. Young - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

I've read four books on Django now, as well as the documentation on the Django website. Some of the information in the other books is now outdated since Django 1.0 was released, but this book does not suffer from that problem.

I liked this book because it was short and to the point, is up-to-date, and clarified some of the documentation on the Django website.

If you only want to buy one book on Django, this would be the best one to get; in my opinion.

Not an easy beginner book. 22. Januar 2009

Von S. Taylor - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Coming from a PHP background, I decided to take on a more serious development language for my future web projects. I picked Python and Django.

This book covers basic Python first. So it's not necessary to learn Python from a dedicated book. The primer in this book is adequate. And the online documentation is great to fill in the spaces as needed.

The thing I like most about the book is that it covers a tremendous amount of ground. The example projects use advanced functions and structures that other books avoid, and the coding structures can be complex and deep. DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) is a core philosophy in Python and in Django. These authors do a great job keeping the code DRY. And that often means building elegant, but hard to understand code.

The thing I don't like about the book is related to what I think makes it so good. It's damn complex at times.

Often while trying to work through some code examples and reproduce the results, I find that I don't understand the structure of something. I'll end up spending 10 minutes or a few hours consulting the online docs learning the new functions and trying to understand some structure that is outlined in the book.

The book isn't very long for all the content that's packed inside. And that's mostly due to the fact that the authors have left out explanations for a lot of what is going on behind the scenes in their more complex bits of code.

Django is a pretty deeply nested framework (in my limited experience). When you call on an object, it might be a subclass of a subclass of another subclass that inherited from two other classes, one of which is a subclass of another. So, to really understand what an object is like can be complicated. The same goes for functions.

Django is similar in the way an application uses a lot of different files through multiple imports to pull together even the simplest of views.

If you are coming from working with Python or C or Perl or something else where you spend a lot of time on the command line and OOP is second nature to you, this book will probably be easy to work through. If you are just using PHP or ASP, get ready for a major learning curve. And maybe just consider looking at the other Django books instead.

One other benefit to this book over others is that it's relatively new and incorporates some of the bigger changes that were made in version 1.0 of Django. This can save you some time trying to figure out why the code examples don't work if you use the older books with the newer release of Django.
