★☆☆☆☆

|
||
|
|
<p>First point: This book is terribly outdated. It focus on Django 1.6, which is
|
||
|
|
at least 3 versions behind the current one (at the time of this review). 1.6
|
||
|
|
is so old that you can't find its documentation on the Django Project page
|
||
|
|
anymore.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Second point: This book is terrible. I mean, one of the very first examples it
|
||
|
|
talks about a mixin with creation date and modified date, which is pretty damn
|
||
|
|
easy with Django, but instead of using "auto_now=True" and/or
|
||
|
|
"auto_now_add=True", it overrides save() on the model. Now terrible enough?
|
||
|
|
Later in the book, it creates a templatetag to access model directly, which
|
||
|
|
completely obliterates the MVT (model-view-template) model of Django. Still
|
||
|
|
not terrible enough? Again in the very first part of the book, to prevent
|
||
|
|
browser caching issues, it gives a recipe for using the SVN revision in the
|
||
|
|
static path; the wrong part of it is: a) it means you'll have to have SVN in
|
||
|
|
your server instead of using proper setup.py to deliver your apps, b) it does
|
||
|
|
a system() call, which is slow, c) there is a prop in SVN which allows you to
|
||
|
|
use "$Id$" to automatically save the revision on commit (pretty much like CSV)
|
||
|
|
and d) If you're having caching issues, that's a problem with your webserver,
|
||
|
|
not Django.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(I won't even talk about long chapters talking about MPTT with examples either
|
||
|
|
don't show the tool properly or MPTT is so useless one could replace it with a
|
||
|
|
single ForeignKey.)</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The whole book feels like someone searched for "django" on StackOverflow and
|
||
|
|
dropped the first answers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the end, the book is only good for giving you some ideas of what is
|
||
|
|
available with Django, not how to properly develop a Django app.</p>
