Scott MoodyA Django Primer - Creating a Simple Blog Application
Preface
A couple of months ago, Daniel and I began drafting ideas for a new website. When it came down to choosing a language to begin our work, we had a tough decision to make. We both traditionally stuck to PHP for web development in the past, but we wanted to use a web framework for rapid development. The decision to use Django came from three things: it’s written in Python, there are proven real world examples of large-scale websites using Django (the developers kept performance in mind and implemented a nice caching framework), and the documentation is good.
While this primer will mainly aim at those with no Django experience (or experience with a web framework at all), I am assuming that you have some understanding of Python. I will go over the details for creating a simple blog application. While Django is still not at 1.0 yet (as of this writing), there are things which may change. I will do my best to make sure to this information stays up to date. I am also assuming you are using the latest development version (0.96-dev as of this writing). Installation of the development version will require Subversion and is documented on the official Django project website here.-
