It's nice for a tutorial to acknowledge this and give you a VM to play around with.
- raverbashing 14y agoYes this is hard. In Django especially, not very easy for beginners. But put it at the end of the tutorial, not at the beginning Come on guys, they're doing the tutorial to learn Django, not "all the things around it" (which are important, but it is not Django).
- jiggy2011 14y agoThis is true, but you need to do battle with "all the things around it" in order to get the thing to work properly in the first place. I agree that to learn a language you should not focus on "operational" stuff, but once you get into web frameworks that line can get a little blurry.
