Django Books

[Picio]

Hello, I'm a Django newbie, I finished right now the tutorial, I read
also other text coming from my docs dir in Django_0.95. Do you know if
there is some Book like what I see here
http://www.rubyonrails.org/docs
but of course for Django?
Can you give me any advice like where I have to go after the tutorial
before to build my first app?
I searched a little bit on the website but I'vo not found anything.

Hi Picio,

I don't know when it will be published, but a book is coming:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590597257
It is written by Adrian Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan-Moss (django
developers) and as far as I know it will be also avaible for free
download as PDF :D

[Daniele Spino]

Thanks zenx for the book,
but about the tutorial maybe there is a misunderstanding:

I finished to read an actually do the tutorial you're talking about,
and I already read the Installation guide. I have also read some other
txt, like template language for authors.

I'm searching something like real-life apps to studdy and learn.
Anyway many many thanks for the book.

Are you italian?

I'll answer per-section on that page.

# APIs
This page, in addition to the tutorials, has quite a lot of
documentation for the API.
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/

# Books
Sadly, not yet. One's in the works. Adrian was considering putting
it up in-progress for review.

# Tutorials
Ah, lots of these.
Here are some via del.icio.us

# Talking foxes?
Hmm, I don't think we have anyone like why.
We should fix that.

# Manuals
Well, these seem only loosely-related to Rails.
Perhaps howto's?

I know that Addison-Wesley/Prentice Hall is pursuing a Django book,
too. But what the timeline will be or who will write it is still
unknown.
