Hi

Django has a very strong backwards compatibility policy, so even
though the book is old, most of the core functionality should be the
same. There will be *some* differences, though, so if you start seeing
errors, looking for the relevant section in the official documentation
should help point you at what has changed and how to adapt.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

maybe you must to read djangoprouect.com docs... has a nice and short tutorial and a very deep documentation of almos every aspect and version of django.

While the things on the djangobook are probably still compatible,
they're far of being best practices nowadays, and will lead you down
old and abandoned roads, more times than not.

As it's been said, I'd rather stay by the official docs, they're very
clear and pretty helpful, not purely technical at all.
