17 Jul 2006   | web development

As a response to the Top 30 Ruby on Rails Tutorials, I’ve compiled a list of the top 30 Django tutorials and articles. These links are in addition to the great documentation on the Django project site.

For those who don’t know, Django is a Python web development framework that makes development super fast.

The list in no particular order…

  2. Sending E-Mails via Templates
  3. Django admin for your PHP app?
  4. Hacking FreeComment
  5. the difference between ‘blank’ and ‘null’
  6. Using Django’s TemplateTags
  7. A Django website that took (a lot) more than 20 minutes
  8. Forms With Multiple Inline Objects
  9. Extending Generic Views
  10. Template context processors
  11. Custom SQL In Django
  12. How Django processes a request
  13. Write better template tags
  14. Extending the User model
  15. Django’s Undocumented contenttype app
  16. Django, gzip and WSGI
  17. Django for non-programmers
  18. Django Templates: The Power of Inheritance
  19. Django Templates: An Introduction
  20. Setting up Django on Dreamhost
  21. Django on Windows HOWTO
  22. Django Admin Hack – Fields varying with user permissions
  23. Some django gotchas
  24. Django Templates are not limited
  25. Develop for the Web with Django and Python
  26. An AJAX ComboBox Widget for Django
  27. Using Django’s Free Comments
  28. MochiKit and Django
  29. RSS made stupidly simple

    This is a great list. You should add it to the wiki, after a few people have visited your site of course.

    @Realmac

    I tried to put the list on the Wiki but the new spam filter blacklisted me. I assume it was triggered because the post was mostly links. Once I’m no longer blacklisted it will be there.

    @Dirceu Pereira Tiegs

    Thanks. Did i win something? ;)

    Great list!

    Now that you’ve 30, here’s a request for something more :)

    I’m looking for a tutorial which would give me an idea of how one can modify the models (database schema) in a production server safely without losing any data. This is the only part of Django which I’m still not completely happy with. I wish Django took care of ORM intelligently not just initially but even after subsequent changes to the models. But anyways until someone tries to automate this, I guess we’ve to stick to manual methods.

    If you find anything related to this, please do post it up here!

    Many Thanks!

    Great list!

    I want to provide link to one more tutorial: http://step-inside.org/blog/2006/jul/01/django_blog_notifying_comments_email/

    It describes how to using signals (from django.dispatch) to send e-mail when new comment is posted.

    I suppose I can add a little tutorial about how to use reStructuredText markup filter in django and adding some custom extensions to it, like pygments syntax highlighting:
