Hi Rodrigo, I'm new to Django too. I started with the tutorial, then bought a book called "Practical Django Projects 2nd edition" Its probably a comfortable level for someone who knows some programming, and it shows how to write some basic Django apps and includes a few chapters about a social code sharing site that he's implemented for illustration purposes. Obviously a code sharing site is different than FB/orkout but if you read it and see how Django apps work I think you'll be able to understand how to write FB/orkout like functionality. The "business logic" behind these sites isn't that complex and once you have a nice language like Django, you can write some concise apps that build that logic gracefully. You may need to know some about web development in general, like what a HTTP request is and how to work with html & css There are probably many books out there, I don't have any suggestion. Also there is a video series on a video tutorial site called showmedo that has someone writing a pretty much full social site in a series of videos with the code available as well. Its not exactly like FB, but its basically a site for college students to invite each other to parties and find out what their friends are doing the coming weekend. It should be helpful, though will not be exactly like FB or orkout. Here's that video series: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=PPN7NA155 and also some other Django video tutorials that might be useful from the same site: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/django Good luck with your project. I think Django is the right language to choose but I have no where near enough experience to justify arguing that on a development forum, I just think its cool ;) Dug On Apr 20, 8:06 pm, Rodrigo Ruiz <rodrigo.ru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can I learn how to make a socicial network website like facebook just with > those Django tutorials? > > On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 9:02 PM, Ruturaj Dhekane <rutura...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi Rodrigo, > > > I feel Social network is a hype term that has come into picture in recent > > few years.
