Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
|
|
|
|
|
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/. If you're just getting started,
|
|
|
|
|
here's a good order to read the docs:

|
|
|
* First, read doc/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Next, work through the tutorials in order (doc/tutorial01.txt,
|
|
|
|
|
doc/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read doc/modpython.txt
|
|
|
|
|
for instructions on running Django under mod_python.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety;
|
|
|
|
|
read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
|
|
|
|
|
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
