Beginning Django.

[Kayode Oladipo]

Hello friends,
I recently completed Python Crash Course 3 and I'm looking to go into web development with Django, there are almost no Django 2.0 books and I'm finding the official Polls tutorial a lil beginner unfriendly.

Any advice as regards this?
Thanks

Hi

A quick online tutorial? The Django girls tutorial is very good, use Django 1.11 (LTS). Also is free.

A good book but long? There is a good one Python TDD (Oreilly publisher) by Harry Percival. I’m enjoying too much. It use Django 1.11 (LTS).

One Django 2.0 I can see Django By Example (Packt publisher) by Antonio Melé. It seems awesome.

I hopes this helps.

This is a great online book. Although written for Django 1.11 a lot still applies.

Changes in 2.0 that are backwards incompatible are mostly low-level things. As a beginner, you won't have to deal with them for some time. So you can grab any book that is relevant for 1.11 and you'll be fine.

I would actually advise to start your training project using Django 1.11 instead of 2.0, since as a beginner, you'll find great help in 3rd party libraries and some of them are still not compatible with 2.0. Additionally, 1.11 is the LTS release and will be supported until April 2020.
