You're right. We took it out because it looked awful on certain devices.

Honestly, we didn't put in a refund statement because until we read this post of yours, we never thought about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Like many people, I 'paid' for Django via contributions of my time.

Just so you know, we offer the book for free to developers in need. Please go to http://django.2scoops.org/ and scroll to the bottom. Also, in my own case, just because I co-wrote TSoD doesn't mean I'm going to stop contributing to Django

We've gone back and forth on how much to put in the deployment chapter. Our concern is that deployment is one of those areas that has very good documentation, is discussed frequently at meetup groups, and best practices actually change more

Hidden fields aren't a problem in Django. Can you provide a code sample demonstrating your issues?

Yup. Bingo!

by pydanny 14y ago
Nope! What you are talking about falls under "best practice" and not a bug. It's very good that you bring it up though! For what it's worth, every technical reviewer we had insisted that we cover the issue of fields vs excludes. :-) Also, b

Any suggestions about what coding style choices you think should have alternates? As for marketing, we hit HN, blog, twitter, and linkin. Then the word spread and we found it in other places. It was pretty awesome. We can't wait for it to g

First of all, there are two authors of the book, and I'm the one you are mentioning. Audrey Roy is the other one, I'm just the one who spends more time on Twitter, HN, and blogging. In any case, thank you for this mini-review. We can't make

I guess I'm naive then to assume PayPal is being hurt by Stripe and bad press. We'll see PayPal is doing in 5 years. ;-)

Heroku does it with 7-8, maybe ten people for all events around the world. So do other companies like 10gen. Why not PayPal's developer community staff? What's their problem?

It's trivial for the community managers and developer evangelists of PayPal to check on conferences. And it's trivial for anti-fraud people at PayPal check on conferences vetted by the community managers and developer evangelists. If PayPal

You're right, it's more than just conferences. But conferences and the will of the developer community are a critical factor in PayPal's ongoing success. Stripe and it's competitors are making inroads because of PayPal's difficulty of use A

by pydanny 14y ago
How hard is it for PayPal to pay 10 people as community managers or developer evangelists to take care of this issue? Heck, smaller companies like Heroku do it with about 8 people and cover the globe. Answer: They've already done it. They h

I haven't reviewed it yet, but I believe more Django books is a good thing. In fact, I think the more programming books there are the better.
