Hi All,
I have been working with Python for just over 3 years now and have recently taken up django. I have completed both the polls app and have created an address book app by following a tutorial on youtube. I am looking fro ways to improve my competence with django and possibly some end to end website projects. Can anyone provide me with some links as to where I could find resources for improving my skills and then avenues for using these skills to generate income?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Devrhoid

In my experience, just start coding. Skills come with time, errors,

and learning from errors of course. Code your own website, your
friends' website. Some site for a small business. Learn from that and
then grow! :-)

Hi Devrhoid,
I'm not an expert myself but, as with anything else; it is nothing but your own needs that will improve your knowledge. I can recommend what I think is the very best Django tutorial EVER, bar none (http://www.marinamele.com/taskbuster-django-tutorial) It does, however introduce you to a couple of intermediate to advanced programming techniques/paradigms, one of the being Test Driven Development (TDD). In all, that tutorial will teach you a few nice tricks. Get ready for some (very few) errors in the text as the author (+Marina Mele) is, like me, not English speaker. She is an EXCELLENT professional though and definitely knows how to get the best out of Django.
Good luck!

Try to "scratch your own itch". In other words, do you have any websites you wish you owned? Are there any friends or family that might benefit from a web app?
Those kinds of projects will keep you motivated because they have value to someone unlike that polls app. Do a few of those and make lots of mistakes
and you'll grow in no time!
Freenode's IRC channels are great to chat with great programmers as well.

Hi,
I have been working with django for 3years. 1 thing I wanna add with others, that is I tried django based popular cms project like mezzanine, django-cms, wagtail etc. and other popular django packages docs and source code. This helped me a lot to understand different parts of django's use cases.
Regards
