James Bennett: Second edition (Practical Django Projects)
- forsaken 17y agoI really like the way he is doing the source code revisions. It's always a pain to be in a book and have broken code and not know why. You can take a sneak peak ahead (hg show HEAD+1), or if you make changes and want to revert them, it's really simple as well. Plus getting people to use VCS in any form is a major win in my book.
- macmac 17y agoI am a bit disappointed that he is not doing more to remedy the code/book disaster that was the first edition. Why not do a set of patches that makes the examples from the first edition work with current Django?
- ubernostrum 17y agoBecause, as I explained in the post, that wouldn't really help people with the first edition.
- macmac 17y agoI think you underestimate the usefulness of option 2 - especially in form of the original code + a patch to work with Django 1.0.
