Re: Django training resources?
try showmedo.com They have some django tutorials given by screen casts that are free and some that are pretty cheap.

Re: Django Training
Steve, I think that the book by Forcier, Bissex and Chun called "Python Web Development with Django" is worth looking at with regards to ideas for a lesson plan. To me it seems that it would be an excellent workbook for a very full week of classes. Their chapter 1 on python and the first few pages of chapter 3 on dynamic web site concepts can be viewed as either a good set of prerequirements or else as required pre- reading for the class. Also note that the book is based on Django 1.0 which makes it unique in this regards at this time. I like their idea of jumping in right away and building a simple project as they do in Chapter 2 and then doubling back and going over the core concepts starting with Part II of Chapter 3 and then Chapters 4, 5 and 6. I think this material could be covered in 2 days worth of classes. After that the book presents a bunch of example projects and advanced concept chapters and appendices that can be used to round out the class. Mix in some hands on exercises and you have a very full week of learning while the book itself makes for a nice take away for the students, Just my thoughts. In case you are wondering, I am not being paid by Addison Wesley to make these comments nor do I know any of the authors. I simply read the book and then decided that if I decided to put together a Django training class that I would probably use the book as the basis for such an offering. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Django Training
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. This list is invaluable for discovering the answer to questions, and many of the more active contributors could write and/or present classes themselves. I guess I am lucky that they have day jobs :). But it takes time to climb the learning curve by asking questions via a list, and some people would like to get a more focused start. Though I think a one-day class that runs through the tutorial might fly, I was thinking two or three days would be more appropriate, as it would give time to get into rather more of the framework and leave students closer to "production-ready". My own experience after completing the tutorial was that there was a vast expanse of stuff still to learn, and not too much guidance in the documentation (though this is improving over time). I just finished presenting our fourth public Python class, and the students there expressed an interest in Django training second only to "more advanced Python". So I think there's likely to be a market. It's just a question of the content and sequencing. regards Steve On Dec 10, 2:28 am, "Skylar Saveland" wrote: > +1, Perhaps building a fully-working site using all parts of Django, > implementing interesting and useful features.

Re: Django Training
+1, Perhaps building a fully-working site using all parts of Django, implementing interesting and useful features. Also setting-up with reverse proxy/static server with lean, fast networking. Depends on how long the class is I suppose.

Re: Django Training
I think it would be good to ask students how they plan to use django. For myself, we'd like to deploy databases on a web page, and I'm interested to learn how much of that can be done in python and django, then what do you add to make the database look pretty for outside users.

I have successfully taught a one day workshop based on the Django tutorial/from scratch. I wouldn't want people agonizing on their own if they are going to take a class. That's one main reason people take classes, to save time and energy by having an expert guide them. Even as I was teaching the tutorial I found I needed to chop it up because it was too long for total newbies. I like teaching from the tutorial because when people want to go back and learn they know exactly where to go and can continue where they left off or dive in deeper on specific areas they are interested in. I've been wanting to do a screencast based on the tutorial or mainly the part without the admin customizations. Just the MVC (err, MTV) concepts well done and completed using the poll app as the example, similar to the tutorial. And then a second screencast on the admin contrib app. This is enough to fill a one or two day workshop for people completely new to Django. The screencasts and official Django tutorial would be the learning companions for the workshop/class. The class would allow people the freedom to ask questions/share knowledge and stay focused while getting loaded up with condensed/organized information. -- Milan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
