Django 4 for the Impatient: Learn the core concepts of Python web development with Django in one weekend

The book is thinner than expected, at under 200 pages, however it seems to lay everything out that is needed to get things up and running with Python and Django.Unlike so many books I have tried in recent years, this book sticks to the subject at hand without overwhelming the reader with too many details all at once. Instead, a Web App is built up little by little with each chapter, with a good explanation of the reason each step is taken along the way.There isn't a lot of personality in the way of a for Dummies series, but the subject of building a useful Web App while coming up to speed with Django is presented in a very professional manner. It's like being able to drop in on a very helpful, to-the-point seminar any time you feel like it, and coming away with the knowledge and confidence that is needed to follow through. Bravo!

The authors did a good job laying out what it takes to get started with Django 4. The project that was built was a great intro to the power of the Django web framework, the commands needed to get started, and the overall thinking that goes into designing a basic Django project. It is easy to follow and doesn't make a lot of knowledge assumptions like so many other beginner/novice level books.I took a star off of here as there are a few editing issues in the first edition that should have been caught during a review. For example "python3 manage.py migrat" is incorrect, as is "python manage.py migr3te". Nothing monumentally devastating if you are paying attention, but minor details like that should have been, in my opinion, caught and corrected before release.

El libro es excelente, y los ejercicios se puede seguir con mucha facilidad. Aprendí cosas bien básicas que me ayudaron a tener las bases para seguir aprendiendo Django.

The contents of the book were very timely and well written.The book itself was received damage and, after calling Amazon Customer Service, I was promised a monetary credit for the damage book from Amazon, at least at first.Several weeks went by and I never received any monetary credit from Amazon for the damaged book. So I called Amazon Customer Service again and they said they had no record of me being promised any monetary compensation for the damaged book. It appears as if the quality of Amazon Customer Service has taken a nosedive.

I have been programming primarily PHP for 20 years. Thought I would pick up some Python. It is not a very deep text but it is not trying to be. I got a great overview of Django in a few hours and was able to relate the concepts to tools that I was familiar with (basically it is a lot like Laravel). Thanks!

I really liked that this book was printed in color. How often do you get excited to read a new coding textbook only to find it’s written in black and white. This book is really concise and helpful. Great for the novice programmer! Also enjoyed that it’s projects based which I found unique.

I bought this book not just because I'm studying Django, Predominantly because one REVIEW claimed it was printed in COLOR. Regrettably, this turned out to be completely untrue. The book I received was in Black and White. I'm uncertain if that comment was an attempt to deceive or to SCAM. Nevertheless, I've started reading it.

A complete project which you can play with, experiment and so on
