I was a novice in programming and wanted to try web development so I chose python and Django as my starting point. I started learning Django by first doing the poll app tutorial found on the official Django documentation page. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/

Then I read the online Django Book and followed along the examples found in those chapters. http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/

After that, I felt I had a good grasp of Django but wanted to get a more complete experience of building a simple but powerful web app so I purchased this book - http://www.amazon.com/Django-Website-Development-Ayman-Houri.... I really learned a lot from this book since not only did it provide me with a better understanding of the Django framework, it also helped me learn how to build all the nice features like tagging, search and integrate other technologies such as JQuery.

Now, I am trying to develop my own app using the book as a guide and I am having a lot of fun with it!
