Hi, A couple of your questions answered: 1. You don't need to use Django's ORM, but you will not be able to use certain features, for example the model based class based views (ListView, DetailView, UpdateView). 2. To use djangos views and templates, you should really first understand Djangos MVC philosophy. In the view you should get all of the items you want to show to the user and make the template as "dumb" as possible. It should ideally not have any advanced logic in it (think of dumb HTML). 3. No comment on the forms (haven't used them), but it shouldn't be that hard to implement. 4. The difference between Python 2 and Python 3 has been easier from version 3 to version 2. I don't think you will have that much problems using python 2 instead of python 3 in the tutorials. And if you do, it shouldn't be that hard to fix. Django 1.7 requires at least version 2.7 though. If you find that going through the tutorial with python 3 doesn't work, try to do the 1.6 tutorial with 2.7 first and then try the 1.7 tutorial. You will get the hang of things and should be able to see where the problems are. Good luck!
