Top 30 Django Tutorials and Articles
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…
- Are you generic?
- Sending E-Mails via Templates
- Django admin for your PHP app?
- Hacking FreeComment
- the difference between ‘blank’ and ‘null’
- Using Django’s TemplateTags
- A Django website that took (a lot) more than 20 minutes
- Forms With Multiple Inline Objects
- Extending Generic Views
- Template context processors
- Custom SQL In Django
- How Django processes a request
- Write better template tags
- Extending the User model
- Django’s Undocumented contenttype app
- Django, gzip and WSGI
- Django for non-programmers
- Django Templates: The Power of Inheritance
- Django Templates: An Introduction
- Setting up Django on Dreamhost
- Django on Windows HOWTO
- Django Admin Hack - Fields varying with user permissions
- Some django gotchas
- Django Templates are not limited
- Develop for the Web with Django and Python
- An AJAX ComboBox Widget for Django
- Using Django’s Free Comments
- MochiKit and Django

Note: keep an eye out at Django’s community page for new tutorials and articles.

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.
