I’m a total noob at Django, and I’m just start­ing out to play on my own with­out the help of tuto­ri­als and guides. It goes so so, but it sure is a lot of fun.

Django is well doc­u­mented but I think that the latest stable ver­sion lacks tuto­ri­als! Since Django now is quite old (in hype terms, that is) not nearly as much people is pro­duc­ing tuto­ri­als any more. I’m await­ing the update of James Bennett’s book Prac­ti­cal Django Projects.

By the way, how cool and out of the way isn’t this min­i­mal and thought through design?

Morning
During my morn­ing, I got hooked by this air­plane painted cross on an oth­er­wise clear sky.

Today I’ve been going through Django’s tuto­ri­als, and I’ve set up my local envi­ron­ment.
To me, it is a pretty steep learn­ing curve just to fully under­stand all of the stuff that I’m learn­ing through the tutorials.

After the tuto­ri­als I installed sup­port for OpenID, using django_​openidconsumer. Prob­lem was, that it didn’t work as expected. After I searched a while, I rec­og­nized that it used maxlength instead of max_​lenght. Then I read the dis­cus­sions on django_​openidconsumer, and of course, some­one had already posted a patch to fix it. Sweet :)

Tomor­row I’m head­ing towards Got­land together with Sanna. I’m look­ing for­ward to it, but I prob­a­bly won’t be able to work upon TLW until next Wednesday.
