What did you did after you've completed the tutorial?

I mean, you have basic knowledge of how Django works, what was your further steps towards becoming Django expert?

I'm asking that because I'm curious what actions people did to become Django experts, and perhaps I and other beginners can learn something from it.

That's easy. Build something which will be useful to you. You have two
choices:

1. Find an existing Django app and install it and use it. Change it to
suit your own needs https://www.djangopackages.com/

2. Start from scratch and build it from the ground up.

I prefer #1 but I actually did #2 and essentially relied on the
excellent Django Admin. Your mileage might vary.

In both cases you need to become familiar with the Django docs because
when you try something you need to know what you are doing and the docs
are the best resource. They are great.

Good luck

Mike

After I did the tutorial I joined this list...

After that a friend needed a mobile app, so I told him I was gonna do it, did the entire backend with Django and API REST (Django Rest Framework) and a friend did the frontend with PhoneGap...

It was hard, but for me, doing is the best way of learning
