Having recently started Django for a small gig, I have found searching for Django documentation, tips, and practices, to be extremely difficult and confusing, especially coming from the Rails world where blog posts seem a dime a dozen.
I spent a long time looking for good info only to find outdated or poorly maintained docs, and a very little sense of "community".
I'll probably grab this book to get me jumpstarted. I'm happy, yet sad that I have to find my information this way -- says something about the community IMO (not a bash on you, but just a nag on the Django community as a whole as I feel it doesn't really like helping beginners).
- timc3 14y agoTry the IRC channel, articles from Lincoln Loop and the Django google groups.
- jordanmessina 14y agoThis is really surprising to hear. I think Django has some of the best documentation out there. I rarely have to go to blogs or Stack Overflow because that answer usually exists right in the docs. Could you give an example or two of issues you had that you couldn't find the answer to in the docs?
