This book does a great job of walking the reader step-by-step through through several sizeable Django projects. I did not have any background in Django prior to reading this and found it fairly easy to contextually figure a lot of things out. This is a great resource for anyone who learns by doing or just wants to build some larger scale projects than what most introductory books on Django would deal with.

The media could not be loaded. This book is the most practical resource to learn Django. The book teaches you Django by building 4 complete projects that include integration with other technologies like Redis, Celery, Memcached and multiple Python libraries and third-party Django applications.This book does the best job covering the basics of Django and much more than that. The book is easy to follow but assumes you some basic Python and web development knowledge (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I love the examples to create a recommendation engine, a Facebook-like user activity feed and real-time async chat application using channels.

For people like me, who learn best from reading instructions, this is the perfect all-inclusive, detailed, and clear manual on how to learn and code with Django.Although the technical jargon can be difficult at the beginning it is worth the effort.Definitely something worth spending money on.
