Learning Website Development with Django (From Technologies to Solutions)

Learning Website Development with Django (From Technologies to Solutions), 9781847193353 (1847193358), Packt Publishing, 2008

This book is for web developers who want to see how to build a complete site with Web 2.0 features, using the power of a proven and popular development system, but do not necessarily want to learn how a complete framework functions in order to do this. Readers need a basic knowledge of Python development but no knowledge of Django is expected. Django is a high-level Python web framework that is designed to promote rapid development and clean, pragmatic design and lets you build high-performing, elegant web applications rapidly. Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. This book will show you how to assemble Django's features and leverage its power to design, develop, and deploy a fully-featured website. It will walk you through the creation of an example web application, with lots of code. Each chapter will add new features to the site, and show what parts of Django to work on to build these features.
