Re: Is there any small and easy website example available for Django?

[Jon Crowell]

I have just installed Pinry, which is a nice small django project. It
isn't static, though. But it is small enough and simple enough that
you can easily look through the source code and understand what is
going on. I think it is well-suited to learning Django.

You can find Pinry here:

http://overshard.github.com/pinry/
https://github.com/overshard/pinry

Installing on a Mac or Linux machine is straightforward. (If you run

First of all, djangobook.com is outdated, and not recommended, at least last time i checked it.

Secondly, for what seems to be your need, i'd recommend django-cms or some other cms application for django since without some kind of cms app, building a static content site would rapidly become, imo, very repetitive and highly hardcoded

I am also using djangobook.com. If it is outdated and not
recommended, then what resource should we use instead? Also, I find it
fairly relevant and easy to follow, so I'm curious what specific
objections there are to it. Incidentally, I'm using the version on
github that is being updated:

I think the django book  is not advised by many because it covers version1.0.  Django is at 1.4 now.  In the mean time, static files are treated differently (static (js, css, images) and media  (user uploaded files) are split).  In 1.4 the structure of a project was changed (adding a new top level directory).   Also generic view functions are deprecated in favor of generic class views.    

So, if you are using 1.4 and following along with the book there will be disconnects.  However, I find I keep going back to the book to understand this or that aspect of how django works.  Its well written.  Just find newer articles on the web, and refer to djangodocs latest documentation as your bible for how things work now.
