Re: Django newbie observation

One thing I wanted to add Russell's comment about "code examples get out dated too". I didnt mean to provide code examples through documentation. What I meant is a "bundled sample site" that utilizes the Django API to provide code examples. When you hook such thing to Django package as an

Somehow this part of the discussion never made it here. Here is the copy of it Thanks for all the replies whether you agreed or disagreed. My post really meant to point out some of the frustrations a newbie might go through while coming up to speed with Django. I am aware Django is a volunteer
