This is nice, but I'd recommend two scoops of django over this.

  Two Scoops is solid, but it's also a $14 ebook, whereas Effective Django is free. Not really apples to apples.

    Interesting, I hadn't heard about this. Here is a link for the lazy: https://django.2scoops.org/ https://django.2scoops.org/

    This frustrates me. Three hours of time to watch a video, if you charge $50/hr means you spend $150 opportunity cost of time on the free version. Assuming the time to consume both is equal, it gives an equivalent cost of $150 vs $164, or put another way, the difference in cost is a rounding error. It seems to me the only durable advantage to the free version is that if it isn't working out you can abandon it after 15 minutes at a fraction of the cost. If there were a credible way to sell knowledge products "satisfaction guaranteed" I'd think that people would be a lot less sensitive to the difference between free and $14.

      This is very narrow minded thinking. I used to think about time in terms of my hourly rate. It's a good way to become a workaholic and arrive at a major life disaster (substance abuse, divorce, missing out on your kid's childhood, etc). Factor that into your equation and it paints a very different picture.
