For someone like me with relatively new django skills, I felt the book gave me a very good feel for best practices used in the community; I feel the authors did a good balancing act of informing readers of the best options available while being firmly opinionated where necessary.
- LVB 14y agoThe opinions are what set it apart. I'm one who, when new to a topic, can quickly end up in a deer-in-the-headlights state if faced with a large number of competing approaches. I spend too much time flip-flopping and second guessing until I build some history with whatever it is I'm working on. The Two Scoops approach is: we're two Django developers with a lot of experience, and here's our approach that has been successful which you can use. They go so far as to say, "you may hear about x/y/z, but here's why you can safely ignore that in almost all cases..." Works very well for me.
