Book

"Django 1.0 Website Development" Released

My author copies of "Django 1.0 Website Development" have arrived. This is the second edition of my Django book. Django is a framework for building web applications in Python. This book explains how to assemble Django's features and take advantage of its power to design, develop, and deploy a fully-featured web site.

Django 1.0 Website Development

The new edition has been updated to Django 1.0. The key topics that the reader will learn from the book are:

  • Register users through a user authentication system and manage them efficiently.
  • Restrict user access to certain pages and protect against malicious input.
  • Create tags to allow site visitors to classify, view, and share content easily.
  • Create own administration interface for proper monitoring of the web site.
  • Enhance user interface with AJAX.
  • Enable voting and commenting on content, and display popular content to site visitors.
  • Build user networks; add friend management and invitation features for social networking.
  • Create unit tests to automate the testing of code.

The full table of contents is available.

The book is available in paper and PDF formats at Packt Publishing. It is also available from all major book sellers like Amazon.

Writing the book and revising it have been an enjoyable experience for me. The feeling of accomplishment when my copies arrived is satisfying. I sincerely hope that readers find the book interesting and useful. If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to email me!

More photos of the book are available at my Picasa web albums.
