Recommended courses/materials for Python/Django course...

[Fred Stluka]

Python/Django users,

Any Python and/or Django courses/materials to recommend?

I may be teaching a Python/Django class soon.  My client may be
willing to jumpstart by buying existing course materials (lecture
slides, notes, homeworks, labs, reference links, any other materials).
We'll certainly be happy to make use of any free materials.

Do you have any Python and/or Django courses/materials to
recommend?

I've taken a quick look and found:
- Main web sites:
  - http://python.org
  - https://djangoproject.com (excellent docs and tutorial!)
- Free courses:
  - https://developers.google.com/edu/python
- Free/paid courses:
  - http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book
- Books
  - 2 Scoops of Django
- Paid courses:
  - Coursera
  - Codecademy
  - Khan Academy
  - Udacity
  - edX
  - Alison
  - Lynda
  - NewCircle.com

Any advice?  Thanks!

The "Python Crash Course" aim to teach python from nothing in the
first half and to put that knowledge in application in the second half
through 3 projects. These are a 2D game, some data visualization
technique from diverse source and a django application.

Some people have some difficulty with the official django tutorial.
https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/ offer a really nice alternative,
more accessible to beginner and more complete too, with a section on
handling form in django for exemple.

I have also head of tango with django but I can't comment on this one.

My 2 cents :
I have started learning Python and Django from scratch 15 months ago. I have bought 3 books which were VERY useful :
1) Two scoops of Django (Django 1.8) Daniel & Audrey Roy GreenFeld : very good introduction to the Django world
2) Django by Example (Antonio Melé) : excellent implementation of several real-world django projects (code can be dowloaded)
3) Beginning django CMS Nigel George : very good explanation of how to use Django CMS
Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback!
