Starting out with Django

I had started reading The Django Book a while back but couldn’t get into it. I had been around a lot of Rails folks recently, mostly The Collective, and succumb to geek pressure to choose Rails over Django. Being a Python guy myself, it was a hard sell. I never did anything especially cool with Rails until recently (more on that to come sometime)

Less than a week ago I bought The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right. I prefer to read a hardcopy; for me hardcopy > HTML > PDF (in most cases).

I’m about halfway in and have noticed a handful of issues. Apparantly, I’m not the only one. Notkeepingitreal.com has covered the issues in the first few chapters.
