the django book is based on version 0.96 - which is very old, hence

Let me help out here. The problem appears to be that there is some
reluctance to talk in complete sentences, with verbs, subjects,
prepositions, punctuation and capitalization.

Let's try to do this the right way:

"The Django Book", written by Jacob and Adrian, is based on Django
0.96. As such, it's a little out of date. Most of the stuff in this
book is still relevant, but there are a few areas (such as the
discussions about the admin interface) where it is out of date.

James Bennett's "Practical Django Projects" was published quite
recently, so it is more up to date. However, due to the rapidly
evolving nature of Django at the moment, there will be some minor
discrepancies between the book and v1.0.

"Dive Into Python" is a good general Python reference. It is available
for free online, as well as a 'dead tree' version. It is a little bit
old, but Python as a language hasn't changed that much since it was
published - there isn't anything in this book that has been deprecated
or is likely to confuse.

See - that wasn't hard. It takes one message, and it's unambiguous. As
a side benefit, the single message works standalone in the archive.
Centuries from now, archaeologists will be able to determine what the
hell was going on by reading a single message.

Please, people - when a thread is turning into dozens of one line
replies which reduce to "that isn't what I meant", please consider
that maybe TXT SPK might not be the right way to communicate
effectively with other professionals. :-)

The django book is based on version 0.96 and it last updated on
December 2007.

Now people are using latest SVN and Version 1.0 is at our door steps

Re: Must Have Python resources

2008-07-21 Thread Ben Ford
I would say I learned the most about python in one go when I started reading
through the django source code! Activestate's "python cookbook" is
invaluable, and the online books "Dive into Python" and "Thinking in python"
are great.
Cheers,
Ben

Must Have Python resources

2008-07-21 Thread Hussein B

Hey.
Well, I know this question isn't related to Django but I hope it is ok
to ask.
What are your favourite Python resources?
I'm a Java developer and currently learning Python.
I got "Learning Python, 3rd Edition" and "Beginning Python" and the
Django book.
Do you suggest a must have book or reference for a serious Python
programmer?
Thanks.
