<h1>Django</h1>

<p><a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/">Django</a> is a widely-used Python web

application framework with a "batteries-included" philosophy. The principle

behind batteries-included is that the common functionality for building

web applications should come with the framework instead of as separate

libraries.</p>

<p>For example,

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/">authentication</a>,

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/">URL routing</a>, a

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/">templating system</a>,

an <a href="/object-relational-mappers-orms.html">object-relational mapper</a> (ORM),

and <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/migrations/">database schema migrations</a>

(as of version 1.7) are all included with the <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/">Django framework</a>.

Compare that included functionality to the Flask framework which requires a

separate library such as

<a href="https://flask-login.readthedocs.org/en/latest/">Flask-Login</a>

to perform user authentication. </p>

<p>The batteries-included and extensibility philosophies are simply two different

ways to tackle framework building. Neither philosophy is inherently better

than the other one.</p>

<div class="well see-also">Django is an implementation of the <a href="/web-frameworks.html">web frameworks</a> concept. Learn how these pieces fit together in the <a href="/web-development.html">web development</a> chapter or view the <a href="/table-of-contents.html">table of contents</a> for all topics.</div>

<h2>Why is Django a good web framework choice?</h2>

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

tremendously over the past decade since the framework's creation. Detailed

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

The framework continues to add significant new functionality such as

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/migrations/">database migrations</a>

with each release. </p>

<p>I highly recommend the Django framework as a starting place for new Python web

developers because the official documentation and tutorials are some of the

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

groups such as <a href="http://www.meetup.com/django-district/">Django District</a>,

<a href="http://www.meetup.com/djangoboston/">Django Boston</a> and

<a href="http://www.meetup.com/The-San-Francisco-Django-Meetup-Group/">San Francisco Django</a>

so new developers can get help when they are stuck.</p>

<p>There's some debate on whether

<a href="http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2012/12/11/learning-python-via-django-considered-harmful/">learning Python by using Django is a bad idea</a>.

However, that criticism is invalid if you take the time to learn the Python

syntax and language semantics first before diving into web development.</p>

<h2>Django books and tutorials</h2>

<p>There are a slew of free or low cost resources out there for Django. Since

Django was released over 10 years ago and has had a huge number of updates

since then, when you're looking for an up-to-date Django book check out the

list below or read this post showing <a href="http://twoscoopspress.org/pages/current-django-books">current Django books</a>

as of Django 1.7.</p>

<ul>

<li>

<p><a href="http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/">Test-Driven Development with Python</a>

focuses on web development using Django and JavaScript. This book uses

the development of a website using the Django web framework as a real

world example of how to perform test-driven development (TDD). There is

also coverage of NoSQL, websockets and asynchronous responses. The book can

be read online for free or purchased in hard copy via O'Reilly.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book17/">Tango with Django</a> is an extensive

set of free introductions to using the most popular Python web framework.

Several current developers said this book really helped them get over the

initial framework learning curve. It's recently been updated for Django 1.7!</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>The <a href="http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/index.html">Django Girls Tutorial</a>

is a great tutorial that doesn't assume any prior knowledge of Python or

Django while helping you build your first web application.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://twoscoopspress.com/products/two-scoops-of-django-1-8">2 Scoops of Django</a>

you're serious about learning how to correctly develop Django websites.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://effectivedjango.com/">Effective Django</a> is another free introduction

to the web framework.</p>

</li>

<li>

questions about it.</p>

<h2>Django learning checklist</h2>

<ol>

<li>

<p><a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/">Install Django</a> on

your local development machine.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Work through the initial

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/">"polls" tutorial</a>.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Build a few more simple applications using the tutorial resources found

in the "Django resources" section.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Start coding your own Django project with help from the

<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/">official documentation</a> and

resource links below. You'll make plenty of mistakes which is critical

on your path to learning the right way to build applications.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Two-Scoops-Django-Best-Practices/dp/0981467342">2 Scoops of Django</a>

to understand Django good practices and learn better ways of building

Django web applications.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Move on to the <a href="/deployment.html">deployment section</a> to get your Django

project on the web.</p>

</li>

</ol>

<h3>What do you need to learn next for your Django app?</h3>
