Review


Even though I'm not a real world user of Django (I'm a Rails guy), I thought I'd give this book a try as Django is in the same category of web development frameworks as Rails. After reading this book, I had a solid foundation knowledge about how Django works and principles behind it. And it is well written. I would recommend it for any serious real world user of this framework.
