I have started learning Python and Django from scratch 15 months
ago. I have bought 3 books which were VERY useful :
1) Two scoops of Django (Django 1.8) Daniel & Audrey Roy
GreenFeld : very good introduction to the Django world
2) Django by Example (Antonio Melé) : excellent implementation
of several real-world django projects (code can be dowloaded)
3) Beginning django CMS Nigel George : very good explanation of
how to use Django CMS
Cheers.

Some people have some difficulty with the official django tutorial.
https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/ offer a really nice alternative,
more accessible to beginner and more complete too, with a section on
handling form in django for exemple.

I have also head of tango with django but I can't comment on this one.

Recommended courses/materials for Python/Django course...

2016-06-15 Thread Fred Stluka

  
  
Python/Django users,

Any Python and/or Django courses/materials to recommend?

I may be teaching a Python/Django class soon.  My client may be 
willing to jumpstart by buying existing course materials (lecture 
slides, notes, homeworks, labs, reference links, any other
materials).
We'll certainly be happy to make use of any free materials.

Do you have any Python and/or Django courses/materials to 
recommend?

I've taken a quick look and found:
- Main web sites:
  - http://python.org
  - https://djangoproject.com (excellent docs and tutorial!)
- Free courses:
  - https://developers.google.com/edu/python
- Free/paid courses:
  - http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book
- Books
  - 2 Scoops of Django
- Paid courses:
  - Coursera
  - Codecademy
  - Khan Academy
  - Udacity
  - edX
  - Alison
  - Lynda
  - NewCircle.com

Any advice?  Thanks!
