Re: Django Tutorial Equivalent to Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl

[Jonathan Baker]

I haven't worked through the RoR tutorial you referenced, but completing http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/index.html gave me all of the tools necessary to get projects up and running.

hth,

Hello,

I've been through several tutorials and looked around quite a bit and haven't really found a solid tutorial that goes through creating a web app in detail that is on par with the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. 

Will you please help a noobie like me and describe some tutorials for Django. Thank you very much in advance.

How current is this book?  Intro says it may not be.  It seems to be
very well-written, but I don't want to be reading stuff that is too old.
I find more recent reference info, as well as good overviews, guides,
etc. at:

Hi

No there is no exact equivalent of Micheal Hartl's RoR for python.
However this may get you STARTED

Thanks everyone for the help. I've gone through several tutorials, such as the one on the Django website and at http://lightbird.net/dbe/. Just trying to get more familiar with Django before I start trying to write it on my own. I'll take a look at the Django Book and the youtube videos you all posted. Thank you for all the help!

I realize this post is several years old, but this is for anyone still looking for an up to date Django tutorial on par with Michael Hartl rails tutorial. Here it is:

The title of the book is very deceiving. Its a book about web development with python using django but doing it with test driven development. 

https://books.google.com/books?id=fTLJAwAAQBAJ&pg=PR2&dq=test+driven+development+with+python&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nmLqVNOqENGvyASPkIDYDA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false

I say it's on par with Michal Hartl's because of these things:

1. You learn more of the generalities of web development instead of the scope being laser focused on django stuff only (like most django books out there assuming you already know web development)

2. It's a project based, where you build a web application with python and Django throughout the book.

3. Like the Hartl tutorial, you are also learning test driven development and Git along the way.

Zach,

I am new to software development, I've spent years on the other side of the spectrum working in telecom and infrastructure.  I joined this group to learn more about Python and Django.  A developer I spoke with last week at  Chicago Python (chipy.org) meetup event introduced me to the concept of Behavior Driven Development and using Gherkins.  Since you shared this maybe you wouldn't mind helping me understand the difference between TDD and BDD?  Are there pros/cons to the two that are worth knowing about?

I've been reading about this tool: http://lettuce.it/recipes/django-lxml.html#recipes-django-lxml

Any help/advice is appreciated!
