by Marty Alchin

Overview

Django is the leading Python web application development framework. Learn how to leverage the Django web framework to its full potential in this advanced tutorial and reference.

• Provides in–depth information about advanced tools and techniques available in every Django installation
• Runs the gamut from the theory of Django’s internal operations to actual code that solves real–world problems for high–volume environments
• Goes above and beyond other books, leaving the basics behind
• Shows how Django can do things even its core developers never dreamed possible
