Level the playing field and make better products by learning how to design experiments, collect data, make measurements, and optimize your specifications.

• Django in Depth

  by James Bennett

  Most books, tutorials and other documentation for Django take a high-level approach to its components and APIs, and so barely scratch the surface of the framework. In this tutorial, however, we'll take a detailed look under the hood, covering everything from the guts of the ORM to the innards of the template system to how the admin interface really works.

  Whether you're the newest of newbies or the most seasoned of application developers, you'll come away with a deeper knowledge of Django, and a plethora of new tips and tricks you can use in your own applications.
