I've done the tutorial. This is great. It's practical. You can see how
things fit together. But the application is quite simple.

I've read the documentation. This tells you how the bits work. But
it's quite detailed.

What I am looking for is something that goes beyond the tutorials to
bridge the gap to the detail of the modules. Are there any?

Hi,

how about checking out some existing applications to learn how those
work? Many of them are small enough to get the useful tips and tricks
from them in 10 minutes (per app ;-)

Hi Jirka,

Cheers for that. I like the cookbook (http://code.djangoproject.com/
wiki/CookBook)

I found the best next step was the "Practical Django Projects" book:
http://apress.com/book/view/1430219386

(I need to get the 2nd Ed though). The first edition was really good
at taking your through practical projects, and helping you learn the
django way. I assume the 2nd edition just brings it upto date.

Kind regards,

-Alastair

Check out the online Django book:

http://www.djangobook.com/

It's somewhat outdated but it covers all the basics.

Hi, yes I've had a look at Django book, but was looking for something
a bit more advanced than that .

Cheers
