<p>The Django project's stability, performance and community have grown

tutorials and best practices are readily available on the web and in books.

65+
<p>I highly recommend the Django framework as a starting place for new Python web
66+
developers because the official documentation and tutorials are some of the

best anywhere in software development. Many cities also have Django-specific
