Start with the django-tutorial. Always start with the tutorial no matter what else they tell you. The django tutorial is excellent and cover most basics: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial01/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial01/
Then start writing your own application. When you have questions read the django documentantion. The django docs are the best documentantion I've ever seen, they are better than most books about django and should answer all your questions. The docs are so good I recommend reading them from start to finish - i.e download this off line version of the docs: https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/django/1.11.x/django.pdf https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/django/1.11.x/django.pdf
and read it from cover to cover. You will not regret it.
- gt_ 9y agoThank you. My bookworm habits make this hard to accept, but your advice reflects my experience learning Python as well. The python.org tutorial was better than anything. Would you also recommend learning CSS, HTTP, PHP _before_ the Django tutorials?
- ubernostrum 9y agoI strongly recommend the DjangoGirls tutorial: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/ https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/ It covers HTML, CSS, git, etc. in addition to teaching you Django.
- otherme1 9y agoI also like that tutorial, but the name is a bit unfortunate. I recommended it to a woman and she quickly accused me of "giving her a dumbed down tutorial for girls". I had to convince her that the site is actually very good.
- swyx 9y agothis is great advice. thank you
