Please Recommend Good Django Tutorial by greatface(m): 9:03pm On Nov 18, 2017
Please I need recommendation on good Django tutorial. I already have many enough in my possession but the problem is that they are not updated to work with recent versions of django.

I wouldn't want to down-grade my version of Django. I have found the tutorials using 'python manage.py syncdb' which is not recognized but 'migrate' works.

I also have the official django html docs which is good but after the basic tutorials 1-7, I was unable to link the examples to the proper filenames and directories to make it work.

All other tutorials with me uses python versions <= 2.5 and django versions <= 1.4

Helps much needed urgently.

Hmm, version problem.
In that case, the best tuts should be the Django documentation.
What examples were you unable to link?


But version 1.4, that's too far.
Check this https://pythonprogramming.net/django-web-development-with-python-intro/

The first series showed which files to edit and also shows the directory structure of the file but other docs that focus on specific feature or module like 'model' don't give reference to such. Am trying to wrap myself around the concept and hopefully, it will soon fall in place.



That tutorial looks promising and inviting. Do you know if there is any other downloadable version except the youtube videos.
The books sits well with me these days than the videos.

Thanks So Much For Your Time.

Na, i am not sure if Harison Kinsley has ebooks.
If you get time, you fit save the webpages. grin


"other docs that focus on specific feature or module like 'model' don't give reference to such."
That's strange, maybe the "other docs" were not mean't for beginning Django development and were just to explain certain features.
Check olamil34 tutorial.

Hmm. That will be a tedious work.

Well, the docs were self explanatary but my only problem is knowing where(the directories) to save the files to make it work.



I remember olamil34's thread and I followed it but I thought he left it unfinished

Olamil34 has not finished his tutorial(i guess it's still in progress), but he covered the part you need(file structure) a bit.
If you understand how far Olamil34 has gone then you shouldn't have a problem with file structure.
Re: Please Recommend Good Django Tutorial by 4kings: 11:10pm On Nov 18, 2017
Oh, i just checked his(olamil34) tutorial, he just mentioned the files and didn't explain them,(only worked on models.py).
So just check the first 2 pages(or videos) of the tutorial link i sent you to understand the file structure, if you have any specific question you can ask.
